Hello,

I have built GSLL (Lieam Healy's Gnu Scientific Library interface) on CCL on Windows 7.  I used Cygwin's version of the MinGW GCC compiler suite.  GSLL runs nicely with vast majority of tests passing (77 failures, 6 execution errors). 

Main point is that this is Windows native: GSL, CCL, MinGW.

However my build procedure includes some hacks.  I am wondering if they are
- correct
- is there a cleaner/better way of doing them.

At one step I am hard-coding some constants that originate in /usr/include/sys/stat.h into one of osicat's files.  (I copied that code from a link that I post in the instructions).

I am wondering if I can avoid this step by teaching cffi and grovel about that file stat.h

I have put the instructions for GSLL+CCL+Win7 on github (http://github.com/mirkov/gsll-ccl-MinGW).  There you will find a section OSICAT JWBM where I list the modifications. 

A few lines below you will find also some modifications I did in cffi/libffi/lilbffi-windows32.lisp.  Same question applies.

Thanks,

Mirko
