[Bug-gsl] GSL Ubuntu install bug

[Stutts, Daniel S.]

Greetings!

I just installed the gsl library on Ubuntu 12.04, via apt-get, and upon running 
a few
example programs, found that the config.h file -- included in
siman_tsp.c <config.h>, could not be located.  In fact, I didn't find it 
anywhere in the system, so I downloaded the version 1.16 code,  copied 
config.h, and all worked well with it included from the execution directory.  
The problem seems to be in the Makefile.  According to Dirk Eddelbuettel, one 
of the downstream DEB maintainers, the bug is active through Ubuntu 13.10.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to put this file with the other header files as 
/usr/lib/gsl/gsl_config.h?  Of course, all of the dependent files would need to 
be modified accordingly.

Best Regards, keep up the good work, and happy holidays!
