Sure, I can help with the one without the -v1 suffix. The regressions tests 
should work for 98%, the examples however aren't ported yet to the newer 
bindings structure. One of the major changes in the newer bindings is that 
if you would like to use atlas, it's still blas, so

bindings::atlas::gemm( ... ) 

becomes

bindings::blas::gemm( ... )

and if you would like to compile and link against ATLAS, define

BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_BLAS_CBLAS

Hope this helps, please let me know if I can help further.

Cheers,
