New description:

 Different pkgs find ATLAS (or equivalent libs e.g. on OS X and Cygwin)
 libs in different ways.
 In particular the situation is broken on Cygwin.

 The one we tweak ourselves are:
 * ATLAS when we pass SAGE_ATLAS_LIB to decide what to copy/symlink
 * fflas-ffpack
 * iml
 * R
 * the Sage library through SAGE_BLAS and module_list.py and its BLAS/BLAS2
 madness
 Other pkgs depend on a BLAS implem but are autonomous.

 My proposal before a pkgconfig solution gets available at #17075 is that
 when ATLAS spkg-install script is run it decides what should be used once
 and for all and other packages use this information (like used to be done
 a little bit when the linbox spkg-install script wrote `echo $LINBOX_BLAS
 > $SAGE_LOCAL/share/cblas_config`)
