New description:
The lapack version in Sage as of version {{{sage-4.6.alpha3}}} is
{{{lapack-20071123.p1.spkg}}} This has several faults.
* It's probably a CVS snapshot, as there's no version number, only a
date.
* It's almost 3 years old, although several "stable" releases have been
made since then. The latest is {{{lapack-3.2.2}}} released June 2010
* There's no spkg-check file
* The SPKG.txt file is only about 3 lines long, listing the package
maintainers (Josh Kantor and William Stein).
* The Mercurial repository is a mess - it's probably best to just delete
it and make a new one, as it will serve no useful purpose.
