gsll+msys2, gsl2.0, antik patches

[Liam Healy]

Thanks. I have modified and applied #1 and #2, which should make it
into the next QL release. #3 will have to wait; GSLL is behind even
later versions of GSL 1.x.

For patch #2, I have added the use of trivial-features to standardize
the different platforms, so I use only #+windows now for any
windows-based platform.

In the future, it would be helpful if you could not mix together
unrelated changes into a single patch, and defer sending patches until
you have figured out exactly where the problem is and how to fix it.
For example, I did not apply the removal of basis-spline, because that
works on other platforms, so this patch would gratuitously remove
capability that functions for many people.

Thanks again,
Liam
