Looks like I misunderstood the OP, sorry for that...

Well, for one it still doesn't find Intel MKL-11, and that one's appeared back 
in late 2008...

Another thing which stumped me so far is the search order. If somebody shells 
out the money to get his hands on Intel MKL he probably wants it to be 
preferred over most of the other implementations, right? So, why then, is it 
searched for last?
