We could adopt FLAME, which is a much more general framework, C-based

than LAPACK. Unfortunately it doesn't have so many routines at the
moment.
+1 on the idea. The FLAME developers would probably be willing to
fill in the gaps if it meant having FLAME underneath GSL 2.0. They're
nice folks, and they love displacing LAPACK.
I've never been that fond of LAPACK anyway -- it's not like it is easy
to use and perfectly intuitive anyway.
The biggest issue would/will probably be rationalizing the views of
vector and matrix so they are sufficiently portable and easy to e.g.
pass in and out of ODE solvers and everything else consistently.
