   Too many.

Why too many? it's not a large package; the problem might be getting
all platforms to do build, of course, unless one would just force
a build using pre-determined constants. If we had to cut down the
number, I'd say 
        PIII (doubling as generic)
        P4 
        Athlon w/o 3DNow

   BLAS? I made a patch years ago make it create a dynamic library -
   nowadays that patch is even part of the rpm you can find on netlib.
   It's very simplistic, though... libtoolizing would be better.

what I meant is that ATLAS is a BLAS replacement. I am not familiar
with libtools: what do you mean by libtoolizing? (what features
do you gain, etc)
