OpenMP GSL

Hi,

I was wondering whether there are any plans for the parallelization of  
GSL?

For example, I found this article on "Parallelization of GSL:  
Architecture, Interfaces, and Programming Models" form 2004:
https://commerce.metapress.com/content/jtp50vjc1e3gwane/resource-secured/?target=fulltext.pdf&sid=medqeqrui2yyng45okahx345&sh=www.springerlink.com

I also found a message by Brian Gough from 2002 stating that it would  
not fit the design of GSL (Message-ID:  
<15656.48877.30970.694792@debian>).

Would there be any objections if one started to a few include OpenMP  
directives in the code? They would not at all interfere with normal  
usage of GSL in single-threaded calculations. If they should even be  
optional for the use of GSL in OpenMP calculations, they could be  
flagged by a run-time or compile-time (preferred for  performance)  
switch.

Thoughts?

Greetings,
Jochen
