Re: [Help-gsl] Submitted patch to add bspline derivative capabilities

[Patrick Alken <patrick.alken@colorado.edu>]

The new code looks clean and very well written. I made a test
program comparing the gsl_bspline_eval_deriv output directly
with PPPACK's bvalue() routine, which is an independent implementation
of bspline derivatives (gsl_bspline_eval_deriv is based on bsplvd()).

The results look fine.  I also ran it through valgrind with good
results. I think it can be put into the next release.
