Here's a patch along those lines. It turned out to be fairly
straightforward. It's still basically a thin wrapper on top of the
math library trig functions, with a bit of careful scaling to ensure
that curves join together to form continuous functions that are
monotonic in the expected regions and return exact values in all the
special cases 0,30,45,60,90,...

I also modified some of the CHECKFLOATVAL() checks which didn't look
right to me, unless there's some odd platform-specific behaviour that
I'm not aware of, functions like sin and asin should never return
infinity.

Regards,
Dean
