FYI I have updated this installer to produce static as well as shared 
libraries. So now, if you don't want to ship one more DLL with your 
program, you don't have to, you can just statically link, and (IIUIC) 
the linker will only include the parts of GSL that you actually used.

Licensing... can anyone tell me what the correct thing to do in this 
case is? I am distributing FOSS packages licensed under GNU and they 
contain statically linked bits of GSL, also licensed under GSL. What do 
I have to do to correctly and legally acknowledge this fact?
