Maybe we could provide ATLAS binaries for 32 / 64 bit as part of the
devkit package.  It sounds like OpenBLAS will be much easier to build,
so we could start with ATLAS binaries as a default, expecting OpenBLAS
to be built more often with the toolchain.  I think that's how numpy
binary installers are built at the moment - using old binary builds of
ATLAS.

I'm happy to provide the builds of ATLAS - e.g. here:

https://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/scipy_installers/atlas_builds

I can also give access to the dedicated machine doing the builds.

Cheers,

Matthew
