These are autotools files and shouldn't be in cvs.

We must assume that Gerald has made some kind of agreement with
tesauro. Add an appropriate copyright and the gpl to this one.

we don't need this anymore.

certainly not gpl, gfdl if anything

This should be removed from CVS i think, unless we can clarify what
the license is. Only MS Windows user have benefit of this file anyway.

I'll remove it. Doesn't all supported platforms have a built-in erf(),
so that we can remove erf.c as well.

These files, I believe, are in public domain and not ours anyway,
leave them as they are.

Many of them are not ours, a copyright would be a good idea if
possible. They shouldn't be gpl'ed though.

edit their source. It is always the source and not the result that is gpl'ed.
