Hello standards,

I hope I don't sound too stupid but I'd like to contribute something to
FreeBSD. Looking through the C99 status board I found noone has started
working on implementation of the C99 macros isgreater, isless etc. If I
read the standard correctly it doesn't seem to be so hard to implement
them, but I'm having some questions:

*) Where should I put additional source files / change existing ones to
   confirm to the FreeBSD source tree?
*) Regarding different architectures: is there anything I need to take
   care of?
*) Can I just use isnan(3) for input validation?
*) So, the basic question is: where should I start? :-)

I hope I'm getting some input from you.

thanks,
le
