Octave and GSL interface

[Thomas Walter]

Hello,
Is anybody out there interested in acessing some functions from GSL
too?

I have encoded and tested an interface to the random number generator
part of GSL.  This part of GSL seems to be stable.  The use of the GSL
default RNG -- it has a period ~2^19937 -- is much faster than the RNG
used in the fortran library with period ~2^31.

example using octave-2.0.14 as is:
tic;r=rand(100000,1);toc      ==>     ans = 0.84215

examples using octave-2.0.14 as is and GSL
tic;r=rng_rand(100000,1);toc  ==>     ans = 0.16287

Hints, help and suggestions are welcome.

Nice weekend
Thomas
