As for GA may I suggest PGAPACK:

ck.html
I have been using it for a while and it is very nice software. As far as I
can tell
it is not actively developed at the moment.
I hope it would be OK to include it into GSL from the license point of
view...

Thanks. Information for developers is available in the TODO and
HACKING files in gsl cvs at http://sources.redhat.com/gsl
The design document doc/gsl-design.texi at the same location is also
useful reading.
