Title: netlib-java

This PR catches all uses of BLAS and uses the netlib-java API (not the F2J one). I've also used import selectors to make using netlib-java a little nicer.

Also, I've upgraded you to netlib-java 1.1-SNAPSHOT (releases very soon... please test before then) which has two new features:

1. support for machine optimised binaries (system installed BLAS/LAPACK)!
2. automatically attempts to load the system implementation, falling back to the reference netlib implementation, falling back to the F2J implementation.
3. instead of trying to load all natives, we now try to calculate the native name before loading it (improves startup time, and avoids potential runtime errors on ARM devices)

Please let me know how you get on!
