GSL 2 compatibility

[Mirko Vukovic]

Hello,

I tried loading GSL 2.1 (from MSYS2 on Windows 10 and CCL) commit
32bbd1aae8ef.  With minor code hiding GSLL loaded and with some minor fixes
the tests run without throwing exception errors.  I still have tests
generating errors, and I fixed a few of those.

All changes were saved in separate git commits. I am trying to find time
and to email patches.  Hopefully over the next few days.

One big mystery to me is the test suite.  I cannot figure out where the
correct test values come from - I am now guessing that GSL distro itself
provides them, but have not identified that point in the code.
