OK, I checked it in.

This is pretty easy if you don't need to get the functions in
order sorted by category.  If that's OK I can add a category
field pretty easily.

The manual has the following categories, do we need more or
different ones?

* Mathematics::                 EXP LG10 LN LNGAMMA SQRT
* Miscellaneous Mathematics::   ABS MOD MOD10 RND TRUNC
* Trigonometry::                ACOS ARCOS ARSIN ARTAN ASIN ATAN COS SIN TAN
* Missing Value Functions::     MISSING NMISS NVALID SYSMIS VALUE
* Set Membership::              ANY RANGE
* Statistical Functions::       CFVAR MAX MEAN MIN SD SUM VARIANCE
* String Functions::            CONCAT INDEX LENGTH LOWER LPAD LTRIM NUMBER 
                                RINDEX RPAD RTRIM STRING SUBSTR UPCASE
* Time & Date::                 CTIME.xxx DATE.xxx TIME.xxx XDATE.xxx
                                DATEDIFF DATESUM
* Miscellaneous Functions::     LAG YRMODA VALUELABEL
* Statistical Distribution Functions::  PDF CDF SIG IDF RV NPDF NCDF
