complex(8) function z8lgmc (zin)

  c compute the log gamma correction term for almost all z so that
  c   clog(cgamma(z)) = 0.5*alog(2.*pi) + (z-0.5)*clog(z) - z + c8lgmc(z)
  c this routine is valid even when real(z) is negative or when cabs(z)
  c is small.
  c when real(z) is negative, c8lgmc merely returns a correction which
  c may be wrong by a multiple of 2*pi*i.
