Tuned BLAS

[Fred Bacon]

Hello,

I'm looking to build octave on a powerpc machine running linux.  I have
recently built a version of BLAS which has been tuned for the powerpc
chip.  It is blocked to make efficient use of the L1 on chip cache and a
special ppc instruction.  Tests of some codes have shown that the
performance is doubled on basic matrix operations.  I would like to be
able to use this library when I build octave.  Is this going to be an
easy thing to modify?
