wrapping gsl


While trying to wrap parts (the random engines) of gsl, I stumbled over the 
excessive usage of void pointers, as arguments or return values.
How should one wrap them? Simply as SCM or as some fancy smob?
Neither g-wrap nor swig are of any direct help when it comes to those beasts.
Also garbage collection doesn't seem strate forward here.
Then there are some int* variables ... should they get mapped to lists of 
exact integers? Or does that involve too much consing?
