was about to suggest this, this is the only feasible way.

changing atlas to be dynamic (with maximum performance kept) might not 
require anything less than a rewrite, fftw-style. that in turn might 
require changes to all code invoking the library. while I don't mind 
having it done, this is not for debian developers.
