Hi,

The attached patch adds some documentation for the sincos standard
pattern name.  Tested with 'make info dvi pdf'.
Is the text correct and OK to apply?
Maybe it would also make sense to apply it to the 4.7 branch?

Cheers,
Oleg

ChangeLog:

	* gcc/doc/md.texi (Standard Pattern Names For Generation):
	Document sincos pattern.

Looks good to me.  Internal docs tweaks are enough to fix on trunk.

Thanks,
Richard.
