That's an alternative.  Yet it might be desired to have complex error 
function family of functions:

octave-cli:3> erfc(complex(1,pi))
error: erfc: not defined for complex scalar

Will this code work for that?

If Steven's code were released as a mini C library that could be 
accessed easily and had some compile switches to use internal square 
root, sinc, etc. functions or external, that might address Jordi's 
concern about maintaining the code.
