Edward,

there is a small hard-to-see bug in this code that I ran into accidentally:

While you probably want to create a 'vsip::vsipl' object here, what this
  actually does is declare a function returning 'vsip::vsipl' and taking
no argument. (Remember the C++ rule: whenever it can be interpreted as a
declaration, it is one.)

This may lead to strange effects when you expect the library to be
initialized while it actually isn't.

Regards,
                Stefan
