Comment (by kcrisman):

 Here is the current status for this ticket, then, in my view.
  * Figure out whether mpfr-4 needs to be installed or not.  I now have two
 different brand-new installs of Cygwin that failed with the current
 package list until I installed it.  It was ''not'' pulled in with gcc-core
 and friends.
  * Patch to remove `SAGE_PORT=yes` requirement for Cygwin.
  * Patch to atlas spkg-install (possibly at #10508, or possibly earlier)
 to say ''precisely'' which lapack packages to install, as in the ticket
 description.
  * As Jeroen points out, make sure that we put something in so that we
 don't use the (current) Sage 4.6 GCC spkg to build on Cygwin.  This could
 involve making the 4.7.2 spkg standard (I don't believe there is a ticket
 for this yet, though there is a sage-devel thread reporting a fair amount
 of success), or something else.
