If you really have 3rd party packages that install things into /usr/lib,
you should complain to the distributors. This is *very* bad style and
causes all sorts of problems. /usr/lib/ is reserved for Apple.

These, however, are probably installed by the system. I see there
costabel% ls -l /usr/lib/lib{atlas,blas}*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 112 Aug 15 2009 /usr/lib/libatlas.dylib ->
../..//System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/Current/libBLAS.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 112 Aug 15 2009 /usr/lib/libblas.dylib ->
../..//System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/Current/libBLAS.dylib
If something really tries to overwrite /usr/lib/libatlas.dylib, it risks
destroying the Accelerate framework, which can make your system unusable.
