Grep'ping the output file from the builds reveals that, indeed, dfftpack 
never gets compiled when using the "build_src build_ext" form of the 
command.

Yah know, maybe this isn't worth it.  I can get everything working if I 
use g77-compiled LAPACK, ATLAS, and scipy such as you're providing on 
the Web site or I build myself.  Since LAPACK and ATLAS contain no 
routines with embedded underscores, g77 compiled versions link against 
Absoft compiled callers just fine.  I wonder how much performance I 
really gain by insisting on compiling with Absoft.  Off to run some 
benchmarks...
