Description

Two DUNE modules currently check for BLAS: dune-istl and dune-fem. Now, the BLAS check does not add a summary line, which dune-istl circumvents by adding one itself. If dune-fem does the same, we get this output twice.

Moreover, the BLAS libs should automatically be added to the ALL_PKG_LIBS, which currently is not the case. An automake conditional would also be nice. Last, but not least, we use an ENABLE_XXX mechanism in DUNE. This should also be supported by the BLAS check.

Except for the ENABLE_XXX stuff, I appended a small DUNE_BLAS check that complies with these requests. Before applying it, I would like the opionion of someone with more knowledge of the autotools on this. Maybe Joe and Markus could comment?

How can the ENABLE_XXX magic be incorporated? Do we strictly not change the ACX_XXX tests or is adaptation allowed, here?

Also, there is the question, if such a change should go into the 2.0 release...
