Comment (by jpflori):

 For Jeroen:

 I guess we should check that the lapack (in fact its dependency
 liblapack0) and liblapack-devel packages are installed on Cygwin.
 In fact it should be enough to check the existence of the import libraries
 for libblas (and liblapack once we get #10508 in) as I do in the spkg-
 install file of ATLAS from #10508:
 {{{
     libraries = ['/usr/lib/libblas.dll.a', '/usr/lib/liblapack.dll.a']
     for lib in libraries:
         if not os.path.exists(lib):
             print '*'*75
             print 'Could not locate required file: "' + lib + '".'
             print 'On Cygwin you must install the following standard
 LAPACK Cygwin packages'
             print 'via the Cygwin setup.exe program in the "Math"
 category:'
             print '* lapack,'
             print '* liblapack-devel.'
             print 'Alternatively you can try building your own ATLAS by
 setting'
             print 'SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH to something sensible although that is
 not'
             print 'officially supported.'
             print '*'*75
             sys.exit(1)
 }}}
 Modifying the spkg from #10508 so that it correctly builds will be
 slighlty non-trivial, or rather the way we include that in Volker's
 autotools stuff needs some thoughts.
