If no one has any qarums with this then I'll fix it when I get home

If you have a list of functions missing or misimplemeted it would be
interesting to see. 

At one point I though it would be a nice subproject to build a perl script
where people could submit their output from ./configure and it can be used
to generated a database of missing/broken functions which may make it
easier to know who to beg to test changes.
