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).
