I found the problem -- the symbol for gsl_prec_eps was left out of the
exports list.  It should eb fixed in the new version at
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gsl/freedownloads.html .  

I've changed the default to build a static library (I think people
were confused about the /MD needed to use the DLL) but you can rebuild
the DLL easily from the GSLDLL.dsw file in the src directory following
the instructions in the README file.
