Initializing and calling the R interpreter from C is not that trivial, though
it has been done, and is easier now than it used to be.
But we have r-mathlib as a standalone C library (and Debian package) with
probability functions, RNGs, etc pp which could be an alternative to the GSL
in this particular case.
