As I mentioned in previous emails, there isn't a feasible general
solution for LAPACK with the column-major matrix restriction, due to
the combinatorial explosion of cases that must be handled.
We could adopt FLAME, which is a much more general framework, C-based
and faster than LAPACK. I really think this is a better way to go
than LAPACK. Unfortunately it doesn't have so many routines at the
moment.
