Interactive shell using GSL (ala Maple)

[Achim Gädke]

Hi Scott!

maybe it is the easiest thing to start with python and pygsl - and write 
a solver module. So it is possible to use the parser of a quite intuive 
language and have all advantages of types and classes and syntactic sugar...

Just look out for http://pygsl.sourceforge.net/

Yours, Achim
