Subject: gallivm: Import the code to compute the minimax polynomials.

It's quite a pain to remember the details after a while, and it is quite
likely we'll want to use this again, either for different polynomial
orders or different functions, so commit it here.

+ * This file allows to compute the minimax polynomial coefficients we use
+ * for fast exp2/log2.
+ *
+ * How to use this source:
+ *
+ * - Download and abuild the NTL library from
+ *   http://shoup.net/ntl/download.html
+ *
+ * - Download boost source code matching to your distro. 
+ *
+ * - Goto libs/math/minimax and replace f.cpp with this file.
+ *
+ * - Build as
+ *
+ *   g++ -o minimax -I /path/to/ntl/include main.cpp f.cpp /path/to/ntl/src/ntl.a -lboost_math_tr1
+ *
+ * - Run as 
+ *
+ *    ./minimax
+ *
+ * - For example, to compute exp2 5th order polynomial between [0, 1] do:
+ *
+ *    variant 1
+ *    range 0 1
+ *    order 5 0
+ *    steps 200
+ *    info
+ *
