I know very little about the former integration of the NAG libraries.

It makes sense to me:
- none but a privileged few can use the library. It costs $2500.
- I know of no one who can maintain the interface with the library.
- Assuming the library was supported, the community at large cannot
explore a potentially large portion of Axioms numerical
capabilities.
- and according to others, the current interface is undesirable
anyways.
As mentioned by others, what we need is a general solution for linking
with third party libraries.
We can only explore the options which exist in open source form.
Sincerely,
Steve
