 Quick check on configure --help..... This is automagic detection, as a
 Gentoo packager of ecm I object. Furthermore the test is for a generic
 cblas function (I know generic detection of blas into autoconf is not
 trivial). It would be better to provide a --with-cblas switch on which you
 could pass appropriate linking flags for cblas.

 I am done with the packaging rant.
