I have a question for the developers list since I'm (brand) new to this: Right now, the FindBLAS and FindLAPACK will not find Intel MKL that ships with versions of the compiler released since last year. We've written something that will make it work, but right now we only have it working on Linux with intel64 architecture.
We don't have time right now to put in Windows support or 32bit support. And even if we could, we don't have any Windows or 32bit machines to test it on anyway. So should I push what I have and get it into the stream with the deficiencies documented since what is there will at least fix problems for many people? Should I leave it on the stage branch until either we or somebody else can help us with the remainder of it? I'll hold off on pushing anything until I know if pushing partial support is okay or not.

It was known awhile ago that they don't work for the new Intel MKL naming conventions (http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg38606.html). We finally hit the point where we had to fix it. So, in order to do this correctly, there is an additional module that interfaces with a tool provided by Intel to generate the information needed to link. We've written this module and are polishing it now. We've also modified FindBLAS and FindLAPACK to use the new module and also fixed a few smaller bugs during this process. I would like to sign up as a module maintainer for this new module (and get push access to put it in the repository). I've done all the steps on the wiki for doing this except introducing the module (which is what I'm doing now!) and applying for git access (which I will do when I find out this email was what 'introduce the module' meant). If I need to send out the new module first for review or something, let me know and we'll do it as soon as it's finished.
