This could be interesting to take as a separate implementation from R, but not to replace R IMO. The official R download uses a the reference BLAS, this is what most users get and this choice is fully assumed (recently on the R list a developer stated that most R users wouldn't benefit from using a more efficient version than the reference BLAS). Using a tuned version wouldn't be representative of the default experience, and it would be misleading because MKL isn't free but people may expect that R is.
