Huge coding job. GSL uses a great deal many C constructs and extensive
macro hackery to accomplish what C++ does with templates and
exceptions.

While I personally would love to see GSL in C++, the porting task is
almost a complete rewrite.

It might be worthwhile to submit at least a partial rewrite of GSL in
C++ to Google's summer of code programme...
