Is there something like config.log for Windows port?
I didn't see anything suspcicious that helped me in finding where shared 
library tools should be built.
There were couple of warning messges related to dlapack, but these are 
not related to tools, right?

In file included from dlapack0.f:0:
dlapack0.f:203: warning: 'ipv' might be used uninitialized in this function
dlapack0.f:203: warning: 'jpv' might be used uninitialized in this function
dlapack0.f:204: warning: 'smin' might be used uninitialized in this function

Many Thanks,
Jennifer
