ARPACK has nowadays a semi-alive fork with patches pooled from Scilab,
Debian, Octave, and also from us:
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arpack-ng/

The bundled Qhull is not modified. 

The bundled SuperLU has small modifications, and cannot be unbundled
due to its error reporting mechanism.

Unbundling anything under scipy.special is out of the question ---
with the exception of AMOS, the original libraries are too buggy.

I'm not sure what the patch situation is with fftpack, quadpack, 
fitpack, and the others.
