I did wonder where these ended up. The heavy reliance on tables means fast execution but large size which isn't always the best trade off in embedded devices. Intel's library also uses the equivalent binary operations to provide starting points. This means they'll typically be more accurate than required and thus slower to compute and even more space is consumed.
