Good idea.  Here is another one that would be useful even for the
pros.  A gsll-probe, that would probe the system to make sure that
gsll is loadable.  The main thing that comes to mind, and that can
look scary to a newbie is if the gsl libraries are not loadable.

Along those lines, I was wandering if the gsll setup would be easier
if the user were required to set-up a feature *gsll-user* (or some
other such name.  This symbol would have in its plist the gsl library
location.
