[forge] Preparing a new release of the GSL package

[Nir Krakauer]

Does anyone have time for a quick look at the GSL package configure script so that we can make a new release? See below from Carnë.

Thanks,

Nir

Whatever the configure script is doing it wrong. I don't have the GSL library and failed to identity that its missing. Plus, it has a lot of weird things that looks to me like leftovers from the monolhitic and could be removed.

After I installed the gsl library the install did work. But when I ran the tests in src I still got failing tests.

I don't really have the time these days to go and look at what is going on, or what configure should be doing. Maybe you could get someone to help you on #octave in IRC.
