Hello,

I've never had any problems linking with LAPACK directly from C, or
compiling it (I use g77)--so I've never needed to use CLAPACK.

The only problem I have in using LAPACK from C is the additional
mental effort required to pass row-major matrices in and out as
column-major without unnecessary transposes.

If a future version of LAPACK supported both orderings it would be a
boon.
