Well, I said *packaging* looks okay.  However, I object to the setup.hint:

category: Devel
requires:
sdesc:    "the GNU Scientific Library"
ldesc:    "the GNU Scientific Library, a collection of numerical
routines for scientific computing."

This is not a development tool.  It's a library.  The category should be 
Libs.  And, it's a binary not a script, so it requires cygwin.  If Teun 
makes those changes, then sure, I'll upload...
