I grabbed efgcvt.c and efgcvt_r.c (the 2nd was needed by the 1st) from 
glibc's CVS tree ('misc' directory, see 
<http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/misc/?cvsroot=glibc>) 
and compiled it in two separated libs with no major problems (just 
changed 'isfinite' function call to '!isinf' as 'isfinite' was not 
defined in MiNT-Lib headers).

I do not know if it is correct, good practice or whatever but as nobody 
reacted... I just thought it was the right place to inform anyone that 
could be interested in this... Anyway I think the package I'm trying to 
port will interest more people! :-) Stay tuned!
