[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] sim want to be a GNU package

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ?

Description: GSim (or maybe GNU Sim?) is a multi-threaded C++ discrete event 
simulation library/framework. It allows for both event-oriented and 
process-oriented simulations to be built with it. It utilizes the GNU Scientifc 
Library for random number generation and random number distributions and 
provides some c++ wrapper classes that can be extended via inheritance to add 
new random number distribtions. The threading model(s) are realized via the GNU 
Common C++ library. To write a simulation one simply inherits from either an 
&quot;Event&quot; or &quot;Process&quot; object and overrides the run() method 
as each of these types of objects run in their own thread. There will be 
classes written for data collection and analysis. Also there are plans to 
possibly use the GNU Scientific Data Visualization library to provide a view 
(GUI) of various statistics in the simulation.

You can find the existing code here:

NOTES:

The M/M/1 (single server single queue) example is somewhat functional however, 
GSim is once again going through some heavy design changes as there exists some 
race conditions and deadlocks due to overcompilcations in its current design 
(Sometimes I need to be reminded of the KISS principle).

I can provide a much longer description if needed as I know you guys can be 
picky about that ;). In fact, this description is kind of short so I'll work on 
making a more complete and longer description.
