+# FindGSL
+# --------
+#
+# Find the native GSL includes and libraries.
+#
+# The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++
+# programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public
+# License.
+#
+# Imported Targets
+# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+#
+# If GSL is found, this module defines the following :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED`
+# targets::
+#
+#  GSL::gsl      - The main GSL library.
+#  GSL::gslcblas - The CBLAS support library used by GSL.
+#
+# Result Variables
+# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+#
+# This module will set the following variables in your project::
+#
+#  GSL_FOUND          - True if GSL found on the local system
+#  GSL_INCLUDE_DIRS   - Location of GSL header files.
+#  GSL_LIBRARIES      - The GSL libraries.
+#  GSL_VERSION        - The version of the discovered GSL install.
+#
+# Hints
+# ^^^^^
+#
+# Set ``GSL_ROOT_DIR`` to a directory that contains a GSL installation.
+#
+# This script expects to find libraries at ``$GSL_ROOT_DIR/lib`` and the GSL
+# headers at ``$GSL_ROOT_DIR/include/gsl``.  The library directory may
+# optionally provide Release and Debug folders.  For Unix-like systems, this
+# script will use ``$GSL_ROOT_DIR/bin/gsl-config`` (if found) to aid in the
+# discovery GSL.
+#
+# Cache Variables
+# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+#
+# This module may set the following variables depending on platform and type
+# of GSL installation discovered.  These variables may optionally be set to
+# help this module find the correct files::
+#
+#  GSL_CLBAS_LIBRARY       - Location of the GSL CBLAS library.
+#  GSL_CBLAS_LIBRARY_DEBUG - Location of the debug GSL CBLAS library (if any).
+#  GSL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE   - Location of the ``gsl-config`` script (if any).
+#  GSL_LIBRARY             - Location of the GSL library.
+#  GSL_LIBRARY_DEBUG       - Location of the debug GSL library (if any).
