Indeed I was talking about about the optimized BLAS library from sourceforge
you had in mind, which I wanted to compile. But the problem is not specific
to Atlas, but to the combination Cygwin/MinGW.

The problem is that at least some helper programs (which have commands
"hardcoded" inside) as well as the configure script (which passes file names
as argument to programs) use cygwin-paths (e.g. "/home/am/atlas/somefile")
which cannot be found. With commands, I simply meant the C-call

system(...);

If a program should be started (e.g. "./program.exe", where the dot says to
search it within the current directory), a MinGW compiled program returns
the error message that the command "." cannot be found (which is the same as
for the windows cmd.exe).
