New description:
On OS X Lion, if you set `SAGE_CHECK=yes` and build cvxopt, some tests
fail and then it hangs before completing the tests. See
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/misc/cvxopt-1.1.3.log] for
the install log.
CVXOPT devs claimed that Apple shipped a broken BLAS. But it turned out
that they cannot provide valid examples showing this; they did not adhere
to a de facto BLAS standard, and they agreed to fix the corresponding
CVXOPT bug quickly.
This spkg also fixes an issue building with GCC on Solaris 10. There
already was a fix for this in the spkg, but it was only enabled for GCC
versions < 4.5 (without any mention of why). Enable this fix for all GCC
versions.

John, if you confirm that my spkg builds with SAGE_CHECK=yes on OS X Lion
and you agree with my changes, you may set this to positive review.
