Anticipating some good performance improvements due to threading on multiple
cores,  I'm planning on trying to make a 64 bit Octave using Atlas 3.8, so
I'd appreciate any pointers about how to do so before wading in. In addition
to atlas, what else might I need to self-compile? I'm using Debian. Thanks,
M.
