#2610: RePrimAnd thorn requires GSL 2.0 but does not test for it

Comment (by Roland Haas):
There’s no real good way. There is a “version” attached with an ExternalLibrary but that does not give any guarantee about the version of the library actually used (in particular when using a system provided one and not building from source).
I have a bad way of testing for GSL in: [https://github.com/rhaas80/RePrimAnd/commit/a8f5a6664739b676e1fb44208cae5a79...) but is is kludgy since I basically do a mini autoconf.
Meson of course contains the correct version dependency but for the ET build I am not using Meson (too many dependencies on Python).
