Comment (by eschnett):

 The patch is missing the declaration of GSL_INSTALL_DIR in the
 configuration.ccl file. Or do you envision this to be a global environment
 variable instead of a Cactus configuration variable?

 It's a somewhat dangerous options; e.g. we couldn't use it in our standard
 simfactory option lists, because there is no mechanism to clean these
 external locations. It's also dangerous because it doesn't take compiler
 compatibility into account.

 However, these are not arguments against such an option. What do others
 think?
