Well, from this interesting discussion it looks like there are at least
several people interested in a matrix math package. Interested enough to
write their own code, which means a lot.

How about reviving Matlisp and making it a common base? While I like
CLEM's functionality, I think using BLAS and LAPACK is pretty much a
requirement, because of efficiency and a well-tested code base. So
Matlisp it will be, at least for me. AJ Rossini's hints about his work
on a statistics package sound very promising as well. But I'd much
rather see things converge than end up with a number of incompatible
math libraries.
