 *  SYNOPSIS
 *
 *    #include <Rmath.h>
 *    double lgammacor(double x);
 *
 *  DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    Compute the log gamma correction factor for x >= 10 so that
 *
 *    log(gamma(x)) = .5*log(2*pi) + (x-.5)*log(x) -x + lgammacor(x)
 *
 *    [ lgammacor(x) is called  Del(x)  in other contexts (e.g. dcdflib)]
 *
 *  NOTES
 *
 *    This routine is a translation into C of a Fortran subroutine
 *    written by W. Fullerton of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.
 *
 *  SEE ALSO
 *
 *    Loader(1999)'s stirlerr() {in ./stirlerr.c} is *very* similar in spirit,
 *    is faster and cleaner, but is only defined "fast" for half integers.
