Scilab-atlas is a variant of the scilab package that uses the atlas 
libraries instead of the built-in acceleration frameworks. IMHO the 
microscopic performance gain (if any) obtained by this has ceased to be 
interesting around MacOSX 10.2 or so. Trying to build and use atlas on 
recent versions of MacOSX is a kind of sport that most users won't need 
or want to participate in.
