Comment (by NicosPavlov):

 The changes are surely more consistent than what is provided for now,
 thanks for the patch. One thing that may become confusing is the default
 building variants are now +clang +gcc6 +lapack. While I understand the
 logic of it (clang as main compiler, gcc6 for fortran), this may appear as
 a mistake to some users.

 However, I have no real solution there, as making additional variants for
 all possible fortran compiler would be overly complicated in terms of
 choices provided.

 On the same note, building openblas +gcc5 still uses clang as default, and
 just changes the fortran compiler. All this is indicated in the variants
 descriptions, but as it is unusual behaviour, I would expect some
 confusion from users (even though it is probably the best choice in terms
 of binary efficiency).
