[Rd] Matrix package: compilation error

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is because of the GNUism in Matrix/src/Makefile

## get rid of this, once we have 'Depends: R (>= 2.5.0)':
ifeq (, $(findstring -lRlapack, $(LAPACK_LIBS)))
SOURCES_LAPACK =
else
SOURCES_LAPACK = zpotf2.f zpotrf.f zlacgv.f
endif

I guess you know what you need to do to fix it for BSD make?

Not used unless you asked for it during R's configure.
