Comment (by stefan):

 While I originally thought that !OpenBlas may also include Lapack, this
 isn't the case on my system (!ArchLinux) at least. I've liblapack.so,
 libblas.so, and various libopenblas*.so. Currently, liblapack.so loads one
 of the libopenblas*.so, so the check for lapack.pc already gets openblas.
 If I were to remove the openblas package, I believe liblapack.so would
 (magically) load libblas.so instead.

 So checking for !OpenBlas in AC_COIN_CHK_LAPACK doesn't make much sense.
 I'm not sure yet whether we will still have need for an AC_COIN_CHK_BLAS
 (i.e., someone needs Blas but not Lapack), but that could then check for
 openblas before blas.
