J's support for mechanisms to compute eigenvalues has been rather
messy. And, by messy I mean that it looks like we rarely exercise
these mechanisms - we don't have unit tests on the entry points to be
run before uploading library updates, we don't have particularly good
documentation on the code we have and there are other problems.

Here's an example I stumbled over today:

   docs_jlapack_''
|value error: dirs
|       dirs jpathsep path,'doc/*.lap'
   require'dirs'
not found: /Users/rdmiller/Applications/j64-801/bin/dirs
|file name error: script
|       0!:0 y[4!:55<'y'
   require 'dir'
   docs_jlapack_''
|value error: dirs
|       dirs jpathsep path,'doc/*.lap'
   getscripts_j_ 'dir'


So here's a question: does anyone have the time and energy to put into
this mess?

Thanks,
