Adding OpenMP support for some of the GSL functions

[Maxime Boissonneault]

Hi,
I am using GSL from another library of my own to perform numerical 
integration of vectorial differential equations. After optimizing and 
parallelizing most of my library, I ended up with the conclusion that 
GSL is a major bottle neck in my computation, simply because it is not 
parallelized to exploit multi-core achitectures.

I would like to submit patches to add support for OpenMP within GSL, 
allowing easy parallelization on shared-memory architectures. How should 
I proceed to do so ?

For background information on myself, I have a PhD in computational 
physics and I am now a High Performance Computing specialist for Calcul 
Québec.
