Brian Cough (maintainer of gsl) is worried about the efficiency of the
gsl functions for a software such as the pdf library. I disagree with
him. I think the gsl would fit our needs quite well.
Surely it's far too early to worry about efficiency. If gsl will move
development forward by a leap and a bound, that seems all to the good.
Down the road, if it turns out some function or another is bottleneck,
it can probably be optimized on its own.
Computers have lots of cycles available. Human programmers don't :).
