We're not really forking since I doubt we make any modifications -- its purely a logistical issue. We already have code from FFTPACK, ODEPACK, FITPACK, cephes, amos, etc. in SciPy. We have made a few modifications in these to get them working on newer compilers, etc., but nothing to major. There kept there just to make building SciPy easier. LAPACK would be included for the same reason.

Perhaps prebuilt libraries could be made available for optional download. They are already available on the net, but it can be a pain chasing them down and getting them installed. And maybe they still don't work. At least links to working versions would be helpful. Chuck
