I am certainly interested in seeing C++ wrappers. I think it's best to
keep them as a separate package -- that way they are not tied to the
GSL release schedule.  You should speak to Ramin Nakisa who has
written a C++ wrapper for the matrices and vectors (discussed on the
list earlier, you will find his address there).  I think there may
also be some other modules that I can't remember right now. Maybe you
can use savannah.gnu.org or sourceforge.net to set up a repository.
