Currently, the cephes package only prints:

"We do not install the cephes library on any operating system except 
Cygwin."

I think boost.math would be a better choice of special function library 
e.g. for systems where the libc implementation sucks. Also, it seems like 
cephes is included in scipy distribution 
(scipy-0.9.p1/src/scipy/special/cephes/) so we ship it already.

Remove the cephes spkg?
