gsll+msys2, gsl2.0, antik patches

[Mirko Vukovic]

Thanks for the feedback.  I tried to factor the emails out in a way that
tried to balance
the number of submissions and ease of either merging or just handcoding the
changes.  I will dig a bit more into the basis-spline.

In the future I will focus patches on one issue at a time.
