Hello Firstly, great work. I always thought SCons was the way to go for NumPy and SciPy, and you've pulled it off.

I don't think you should make the autodetection of BLAS and LAPACK too auto. A .cfg file like mpi4py's mpi.cfg (almost like NumPy's site.cfg, but simpler) would be great. This way, you can provide a few default build configurations for common platforms, but still make it easy for people to configure their build exactly the way they want it, if they so choose.
