 Well, as long as also the shared libraries are present, they're (usually)
 preferred over the static ones (i.e., unless one explicitly asks for
 linking against the latter), so copying these into `$SAGE_LOCAL/lib/` IMHO
 shouldn't hurt.  (The static libraries are btw. needed to compare
 different ATLAS installations; the only way to "keep" them is to reinstall
 the ATLAS spkg with `./sage -f -s ...` or to set `SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS`,
 and manually copy them.)

 Note that previously installed static ATLAS libraries currently don't get
 removed.  Don't know whether that may cause trouble (e.g. with upgrading);
 see above.
