And then there's the stuff that's in CBLAS but not in BLAS. It's not that 
much, the only example I can think of is set(). I propose we leave it out, 
and/or provide a C++ implementation for people using the netlib blas. It's a 
rather trivial function in C++, e.g., std::fill( begin(v), end(v), value );

I'll try to integrate clapack into lapack as is done with cblas/blas.
