Title: vecLibFort 0.1: new formula

[vecLibFort](https://github.com/mcg1969/vecLibFort) is a new library I have put together that I hope will serve to end the frustrations surrounding the use of Apple's vecLib BLAS/LAPACK. Click the link for a thorough background on the problem and the proposed solution.

If you live in a double-precision, real-only world, you likely haven't experienced these frustrations, but the problems with vecLib and modern FORTRAN compilers have indeed caused problems for Octave, ARPACK, and other Homebrew formulae.

My ambition here is for this library to *replace* the use of [dotwrp](https://github.com/tenomoto/dotwrp), which is on the right track but corrects only 5 BLAS functions, and no LAPACK functions. In particular, ARPACK, QRUpdate, SCALapack, and Octave will definitely benefit. Other packages that might benefit include suite-sparse, hopdm, pastix, lp_solve, R, tmv-cpp, trillinos...
