With GSL, my suggestion was to actually maintain your code there if
GNU libc won't work, but I suspect you might object to the GPL?

Yeah, this is another problem with Julia. Its authors are mostly Mac
OS X advocates, which has pretty awful package managing systems, so
SLFE is their preferred solution.

Yeah, I think this would be optimal.

The point here is not to make users install anything separately. When
I install software on my machine, the package manager chases down the
dependencies. When Julia fixes their distribution model, they will
make binaries that already have the dependencies.
