Re: test release gsl-1.8.90.tar.gz

Hi,

  I've compiled and make check'd it on:

GNU/Linux/AMD 2.6.14 and
NetBSD/i386 2.1

with no problems. I also compiled it under linux with the flags:

make CFLAGS="-pedantic -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wconversion -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual
-Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wnested-externs -fshort-enums -fno-common"

and I attached all the resulting warnings. They're all pretty
harmless. The only thing that stands out is there are a few cases
where local gsl variable names are shadowing global ones in
the system mathcalls.h.

I also stuck in a -ansi there and everything looks good under that
too except for a lot of complaining about no hypot prototype..

Anyway, its looking good!
