The javadocs state that the class StrictMath must have bit-identical
results to the fdlibm library, after translating the C algorithms to
Java types.  StrictMath is required to be implemented in pure Java, not
in native code; it is only Math which permits you to use native code
(and inline things like cos() and sin()).

At any rate, I went ahead and committed the new file.
