3rd-party library information missing

Description

Neither PSDC-430-009-03 nor the generated psLib docs (docs/html/index.html)
contains complete instructions for building 3rd-party libraries in the way psLib
build script requires. In some cases the extra step is "obvious"; in other
cases it requires the programmer to re-build or reinstall the package in order
to build psLib.

GSL: "ldconfig -v" or equivalent required after "make install" so that .so is
located; won't discover this until runtime

FFTW: requires "./configure --enable-float" so that libfftw3f.a is generated
(otherwise libfftw3 is created; psLib wants libfft3f)

SLALIB: should be installed into /usr/local/star. Also you have to hunt for a
bit to find the right download page:
http://www.starlink.rl.ac.uk/cgi-store/storeform1?SLA

my system:

Linux sponge 2.4.21-20.EL #1 Wed Aug 18 20:58:25 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 3)

Under FFTW I meant to say:

"psLib wants libfftw3f"
