mrg d43cffdfe2 initial import of MPC 0.9 package.
MPC is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with
arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result.
It is built upon and follows the same principles as MPFR.

GCC >= 4.2 requires MPC.

Bench:
- from Andreas Enge 9 June 2009:
Scripts and web page comparing timings with different systems,
as done for mpfr at http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.4.0/timings.html
New functions to implement:
- from Andreas Enge and Philippe Théveny 17 July 2008
agm (and complex logarithm with agm ?)
- from Andreas Enge 25 June 2009:
correctly rounded roots of unity zeta_n^i
- implement a root-finding algorithm using the Durand-Kerner method
(cf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durand%E2%80%93Kerner_method)
See also the CEVAL algorithm from Yap and Sagraloff:

New tests to add:
- from Andreas Enge and Philippe Théveny 9 April 2008
correct handling of Nan and infinities in the case of
intermediate overflows while the result may fit (we need special code)
