This is ideal for the new foreign interface, now part of v299.  In
fact, it is so ideal that I wanted to make an interface for BLAS as
one of the examples.  Then I realized that I get it with LAPACK, so I
decided to interface that too.  Then I looked for some concrete files,
and found that the whole thing is part of GSL, and that (a) it is
huge, (b) it is GPL'd.

Implementing these interfaces is extremely simple, the only thing is
that it will take a while to go over the bindings and writing the
interfaces.  (It is one place where a C parser would help.)

If anyone is interested, I can help.
