I am pretty sure it should be possible to create a wrapper that allows
FFTW to be substituted for GSL calls with no changes to the user code
(by using suitable #defines or dynamic linking to substitute the
alternative functions).  For single-threaded code at least the FFTW
plan can be created in the GSL wavetable setup.
