well according to the mainual -Wconversion deals with warnings due to
signed/unsigned variables. i get a waring due to float/double even
though the prototype in gsl_matrix_float.h is

void    gsl_matrix_float_set(gsl_matrix_float * m, const size_t i, const
size_t j, const float x);

i.e. const float for the fourth argument. gcc sees a double in the
prototype. am i really supposed to use a cast to get rid of the warning?
