Agreed in principle, but I went for that solution for lack of better one at
this stage. Otherwise, if you mean that a ZIP file is a binary file, then I
did put a binary file under docs indeed. This being said, it only contains
text files of some sort. The only thing that comes from GSL is
templates_on.h, which we could easily removed, if necessary.
