Great!  Can I rip the support for them out of mainline then?

Yeah.  Since openbsd has web CVS access, and the system headers seem to 
be in a nice ordinary place (include/math.h) rather than being 
constructed during the build process (a la Linux), I can probably 
figure this one out.  More on this soon.

Then I need a checkable set of headers; or I could just make an untested 
patch. :-)

Then, again, I need a checkable set of headers.  One arbitary set would 
probably do; I don't need all possible sets, just one so I can check 
that my conversion to standard fixincludes is doing the same as the 
original script.
