It would be prudent and good style if GSL offered to its users a macro

--with-gsl[=PREFIX] or so. And the best thing is: such a thing already exists: on my Debian system it's at /usr/share/aclocal/gsl.m4 and part
of the package libgsl0, the macro is named AM_PATH_GSL (too bad it
invades Automake name space...).

Can you tell me what the recommeded form for the name should be?  I
will change it. Thanks.


It shouldn't match _?A[SCHUMT]_.* or _?LT_.*

AFAIK:
AS_* = m4sh/m4sugar
AC_* = autoconf
AH_* = autoheader
AU_* = autoupdate
AM_* = automake
AT_* = autotest
LT_* = libtool

When beginning with an `_' they are used for internal names.
