remarks:

* better check for both the `lp64` and `ilp64` libraries?
* this is with the old easyblock, so the libraries are missing in the imkl 11.1.x paths
* note that imkl 11.1.0 is also affected, so fix the version check
* side note: the `blacs` and `scalapack` libs *are* there in the `mic` path (which is apparently a default component >_<)
