OK, so the mk file would use an internal _PKGSRC_BLAS_PREFERRED for
that.

So, would it be the preferred way to use _PKGSRC_BLAS_TYPE in the
package Makefiles? I don't care that much either way, but I want
to make sure that this verbosity is consensus. I don't recall seeing
that many _UNDERSCORE variable names in use.

Is it still fine to have BLAS_LIBS and LAPACK_LIBS defined? Should those
be _PKGSRC_BLAS_LIBS, _BLAS_LIBS?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
