complex function c8lgmc (zin)
c may 1978 edition.  w. fullerton, c3, los alamos scientific lab.
c
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.
