That is excellent news !! Especially since, thanks to your document, I
am aware of the great performances of GotoBLAS2.
Especially since we have now in Debian a quick and easy way to switch
between BLAS implementations.
I am ready to upload this in Debian if it is OK with you.

PS: Can you confirm that all the performances optimisation are done at
runtime (like the MKL) and not build time (like ATLAS) ?
