If you try to use the GSL in cygwin, you get:

"error: 'strnlen' was not declared in this scope".

Looking this up, it appears that strnlen is not a standard function. If this is true, we should either remove it, or provide our own implementation. Note that the link below is for MinGW but I am seeing this with GCC 5.4 in cygwin as well.
