There are various others missing (and some need adaption), none of them
is mathematically hard, but the polygon aproximations used are sligthly
tricky to adjust to the different limits of VAX fp (and unfortunately
the original generator software seems to not be available anywhere).

Would be cool to have generators for all the polys in libm that could
be used with some arbitrary precision lib to generate tables for all
past and future formats.

nextafter*() and nexttoward*() are probably among the lowest hanging fruits.
