We do ship GSVD in the Lapack module (function DDGSVD) so it is "just" a
matter of finding out how to interface to it. Beware that the notation
appears to be somewhat different from that of Matlab.

If one of your A,B matrices is nonsingular, I think you can do it with
ordinary SVD and a bit of elbow grease.
