> Slight update:
> Note that actually we do still need the lapack thing since #10508 isn't
in, see #14406 for details on this where JP mentions it. So that's two
issues.
Please note that the spkg currently provided at #10508 will not build
ATLAS on Cygwin by default.
And even if you set SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH as suggested to force the build, it
will not work because the magic (or rather circumventing libtool
stupidity) needed to build the shared libraries on Cygwin is not included
yet and we don't install static libraries.
I don't plan on including any of these changes in #10508 although I think
we should include both these changes.
That will be for follow up tickets, #10508 has been bitrotting for too
long.

> Well, in any case I think that we should put something in the
installation guide, since it even mentions AIX but not Cygwin. I did just
update [http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms].
Yes and take care of peflags and rebasing scripts and that will be most of
it.
And a patchbot would be great, or even three of them at least (XP 32, 7 64
and 8 64 I'd say), preferably not virtual machines, but let's not dream
too much.
