No problem, happy to lend a hand.

I think this would be better than the current status quo, but it would still
entail recommending a bunch of lapack/cblas/lapacke man files for someone only
interested in pure blas, for example. We could do this for now, as a stop-gap,
until we can figure out a proper split of the man files sometime in the future.
