Just the routines that numpy itself uses. Hence, "lite".
I thought it got the 'lite' name because Netlib up to LAPACK 3.1.1 had packages named 'lapack-lite-3.1.1.tgz' in addition to 'lapack-3.1.1.tgz'. (I am not sure what the differences between the packages were.) The lapack_lite.c file looks rather complete, but it seems the build process somehow extracts only parts of it.
