because it is possible to have on top of the standard=20
blas/lapack the specialized ATLAS version for the
specific processor.

Putting the dll's in /usr/lib/lapack
and adding that at the end of PATH allows
to put the atlas versions in /usr/lib=20
and they will take precedence over the PATH.

On other unix systems this can be managed with=20
symbolic links but on windows is it not possible.
The workaround was defined by the previous lapack=20
mantainer James R. Phillips and I decided maintain it.
