As I've already explained for GSL shell I *really* need complex number
as *native* types. Please note that complex numbers are supported by C
programming language with standard C99.

Congratulation, you've the first to discover that the build system is
broken to build the DLL since the introduction of the AGG plot module
:-) sorry

I've already fixed the problem but for the moment I'm unable to commit

be), I will inform you when is done.

Thank you for your feeback.
