FGSL Fortran interface for the GNU scientific library

Please go to api/error.finc for the API documentation.

The error handling subroutines are available from Fortran, with exception of the macros `GSL_ERROR` and `GSL_ERROR_VAL`. A user-defined error handler can be defined either in C or using a Fortran function with the `bind(c)` attribute. Here is the description of the required interface:

     subroutine errhand(reason, file, line, errno) bind(c)
        type(c_ptr), value :: reason, file
        integer(c_int), value :: line, errno
     end subroutine errhand

An object of type `fgsl_error_handler_t` is returned by the constructor `fgsl_error_handler_init(errhand)`, which takes a subroutine with the interface described above as its argument. The subroutine `fgsl_error(reason, file, line, errno)` works in an analogous manner as the C version. If the Fortran preprocessor is supported, it should be possible to use the macros `__FILE__` and `__LINE__` in the above call. Once not needed any more, the error handler object can be deallocated by calling the subroutine `fgsl_error_handler_free` with itself as its only argument. Note that the function `fgsl_strerror` returns a string of length `fgsl_strmax`.
