It's not out yet (I still have a little testing to do, and I'm in
middle-of-semester crunch), but I don't see any reason not to send the
wrappers your way.  I've tested them out with CLAPACK/ATLAS, and it all
seems to work okay.  You can grab the tarball of the wrappers at

   www.cs.berkeley.edu/~dbindel/blaswrap.tar

These will indeed be integrated (already have been) into CLAPACK 3.0.
