Yes, I am proposing that we ship the compiler output (fasls or
whatever) to the users. We don't do it at present but it seems like
it is just a matter of naming the files in Makefile.am or something.
We might want to figure out a defsystem thing for lapack
but that would not be part of the shipped stuff.

If you don't have time to work out the build/packaging stuff,
I'll try to do it. Just let me know. Thanks again for working on
lapack, I think it's a great contribution.
All the best,
