[Help-gsl] Multiple precision GSL?

[John A. Crow]

I doubt a full port of gsl would be possible since some of it is intrinsically 
bound to certain precision levels. For example some of the special functions 
and quadrature routines make use of precomputed parameters/rules. I imagine a 
subset of the ODE integrators and nonlinear solvers would be amenable to 
multiple precision rewrites using mpfr.
