[OctDev] Building Octave on Cygwin with dyanamically linked atlas libraries

[James R. P. <JRP...@co...>]

Hi,

I recently built octave 2.1.58 from source on cygwin quite successfully, 
using Paul Soderlin's method of linking to static atlas (.a) libraries, 
optimized for my processor.  I was wondering if anyone could provide 
guidance on how to build atlas as a dynamically loaded library (.so?) 
under Cygwin, and then link octave and octave-forge against that.  This 
would allow building only one octave-forge binary, and then just 
selecting the correct optimized version of atlas to install based on 
your cpu architecture.
