3.9.77

[whaley-8]

Guys,

I have released 3.9.77.  It's main claim to fame is that it can be built using
MSVC++ as the ICC compiler, though I doubt very much it can easily be linked
in by a MSVC++ user (I think it still depends on the cygwin library despite
the fact that I'm using the Windows threads).  I think it also depends on
other gnu libs, like -lm.

Is anyone out there wanting to use ATLAS with MSVC++, and if so, can you try
this release and give me a support tracker request with problems?  If I don't
hear from people, I will probably just go with what we have now for MSVC++
support.

If you use Windows, can you reply to this message and let me know what
compiler you use, and how you use ATLAS on Windows?  I.e., do you use MSVC++,
Intel compilers, gnu compilers, or what?

I have also downloaded intel's compilers for windows as demo compilers, and
that may allow me to update intel compiler support, which is what I think
a lot of people use.

Cheers,
Clint

ATLAS 3.9.77 released 06/06/12, changes from 3.9.76:
   * Patched all ARM assembly files to use the %function directive
   * Added some additional ARM NEON kernels to tarfile
   * Additional free() of allocated strings in configure
   * New gcc4.7.0 archdefs for:
     + P4E64SSE3, P4E32SSE3, HAMMER64SSE3
   * Add ability to force particular NB for ummsearch.c
   * Changed probe_comp to allow gcc search to fail w/o crashing.
   * Changed build of ATLwin_cl.exe to use MSVC++ (CL)
   * Numerous changes for building Windows compilers
   * Fixed several errors in Windows threading support
   * Made it so ICC used only for compiling C API
   * Fixed failure to typecast void* in clapack_[c,z]gels.c

I use Atlas together with umfpack using cygwin on Win32.
Currently too busy to do much, things will get next week or week after.

Some time ago I made a bit of a progress with mingw on Win64, by getting
extract to work there, problems were:
- HOME is not usually set.
- tmpnam returns paths that cannot be opened for writing, hence all
temporary file creation was failing.
- gmake does not support $*
Fixed the first two by modifying extract (can post patch) and doing
"CCFLAGS=-Wl,--stack=10000000 gmake" to build it (default stack size in
mingw is too small and causes stack-heap collision).
In regard to $*, I edited make.base to avoid the need for $*
