already throw an error at the start if the lapack stuff isn't there? What
about binutils - is that equivalent to a "standard" dependency?

The current ATLAS spkg exits if it does not finds a system wide ATLAS or
LAPACK, don't remember, and asks you to install the corresponding Cygwin
packages (lapack-bin, lapack-devel IIRC, or stg like that).
Nonetheless, I'm quite convinced we can build the new ATLAS spkg from
#10508 quite easily on Cygwin.
I've had some trouble with shared library and the 3.8 ATLAS spkg, with
memleaks on top of that.
Bu now I've removed the memleaks culprit so I could try again to vuild
ATLAS 3.10.
Unfortunately that's not my top priority, and on top of that I'm very
happy with installing a system wide ATLAS.
