RE: RANLUX++

[Jonas Hahnfeld]

Hello,

here is a first attempt of adding the code, fully converting to C and then 
running `indent -gnu -nut` to fix the indentation to match GNU coding 
standards. The first patch fixes the documentation build if you configure in a 
separate directory.

Hello,

   Yes please do submit a patch. It would be best to submit a git diff
against the latest master branch of GSL. I'll take a look when I can
find the time. Thanks for your efforts!
