Hi folks,

I have a question regarding additions to the library.
How difficult would it be to get GSL to use decimal
floating point instead of the regular IEEE754? I'm
willing to write a fair amount of code.

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any computers that use decimal floating
point.. so I'm not sure what that would mean.
