There is code in src/main/complex.c
This contains routines for powers, division and transcendental functions.
Unfortunately they are all declared static, so you can't use them.
I don't know if there is any real need to make these static, apart from
tidiness (Anyone?) so it's possible that these could be changed in the
future.
Still, I liked Ross' suggestion of just making a f2c R package
