I broke down and install swig and hacked the paths 
for my GSL installation in Makefile and the Python script.

I need the Java source for my IDE.

I just ran TestLog.java and here's the output

     JGSL Log computed 2000000 logarithms in 626 ms.
     Built-in Log computed 2000000 logarithms in 318 ms.

Java's built in log function appears to be twice as fast as GSL's log 
function (on a dual core laptop using Java 6 under Linux.)
