In another conversation it looked as though OpenBLAS was not robust enough for a standard distribution. >From what Julian said elsewhere, we can completely rely on SSE2 being present for 64 bit, correct? [1] >From [2] it looks like Windows XP 64-bit is about 20 times less common than 32 bit XP, meaning likely something less than 2 percent of Windows users overall. So - can we build windows 64 bit SSE2 wheels for windows 7? With ATLAS for example? It sounds like they would be fairly safe.
