Thanks for this!

About Lapack, I have this to say; if you recall, you uploaded a lapack I
prepared in October to experimental (version 3.1); why not try that in
experimental with the new Blas? Please note that the current Blas in unstable
which you uploaded yesterday is the new upstream version, which _borrows_ some
code from the new lapack, so I am wondering if it would be a good idea to build
the old Lapack against the new Blas.
Also, the new upstream Lapack has several of Camm's old patches applied
upstream, so I am wondering what strategy can be adopted to counter this, as I
really don't know which patches to keep, which not to.
Finally, another very important TODO: Update Atlas to 3.8.0:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23725
Thanks.
