Comment (by leif):

 Well, there's at least room for nitpicking (a couple of typos and some
 inconsistencies as well as superfluous code in `spkg-install` and probably
 `configuration.py`, don't recall)...  I'll maybe take a look at it again
 tomorrow, and probably provide a patch (provided Volker doesn't plan to
 make further major changes to these files).

 How about also installing a user script for convenience to save the built
 ATLAS libraries to another place (for later use with `SAGE_ATLAS_LIB`)?

 Regarding the mentioned excessive tuning times, I also wonder whether we
 should use something like `SAGE_ATLAS_ARCH=fast` (or `base`) ''by
 default'', i.e., only do self-tuning if the user explicitly asks for it in
 some way.  I guess the Sage Installation Guide needs to get updated anyway
 w.r.t. ATLAS and environment variables.
