It is straightforward with "version" blocks to support multiple
backends at compile time, even including a pure D version (lower
performance but always works). One of our internal libraries
supports either ATLAS/BLAS (for dev boxes) or MKL (for production
big iron) in this way. We just change a makefile variable to use
"--version=ATLAS" or "--version=MKL".
