Well, in my case, editing site.cfg alone does not work, because my fortran 
blas libraries are named "blas" instead of "f77blas". system_info.py has 
"f77blas" hardcoded in several places, which I have to change in order to 
build scipy. I think system_info.py should be set up to respect the library 
list in site.cfg.
