/*
	C program for floating point log gamma function

	gamma(x) computes the log of the absolute
	value of the gamma function.
	The sign of the gamma function is returned in the
	external quantity signgam.

	The coefficients for expansion around zero
	are #5243 from Hart & Cheney; for expansion
	around infinity they are #5404.

	Calls log and sin.
