I doubt that IMSL will be included for free in the next IDL version. In
defense of ITTVIS, the excessive licensing cost is not just their
fault. Having bought IMSL previously bundled with a Fortran comiler, my
guess is that they fork out half of the license price to VNI. Left is
$500 for ITTVIS for a 560kB DLM (plus IDL wrappers). Hey, that's less
than $1 per kilobyte of code. :-)

Anyway, I am testing the IMSL lib and my first impression is that I
like what I see. The question is in the end whether I can justify the
spending.
