Completing libm's complex support

There are still some functions defined in the C std which libm does't
support.

Boost has well engineered code for these which trivially could be
converted to C.

The boost license¹ looks to be a 3-clause BSD style.

Would a port of their code for the complex functions specified in C99
be accepted into glibc?

If so, would the preference be a single patch or one per function?
(I presume the latter, but better to ask.)  And posted here for
review or in bz?
