As a side note:
Some time ago I also implemented a Gauss integration with Legendre Polynomials and found that the
Goloub-Welsh method is not very effective for the calculaton of the roots. I implemented another
method (first guess based on heuristic formula followed by Newton like iteration), which usually
outperformed the Goloub method. If this is of interest, I could submit the code, which is template
based and should allow for arbitrary precision (I tested up to Quad precision only, though)
