ATLAS basically requires us to know all the details of the target 
platform when compiling the library. It does not have automatic target 
detection like MKL, OpenBLAS and ACML.

And unless I already said so, we must use MinGW to build OpenBLAS 
because of AT&T assembly syntax, which MSVC does not understand.
