BLAS/LAPACK options in ports

Hi everyone,
There are many scientific packages in ports with depend on libraries
providing BLAS/LAPACK functionality. There are several implementations
available, which mainly exploit multicore CPUs, and the ports
infrastructure helps ports handle these dependencies.
I would like to suggest a couple of improvements:
* Mk/Uses/blaslapack.mk currently offers support for: atlas, gotoblas,
netlib and openblas. Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk offers descriptions for all
except gotoblas, I think we should add it. Is a PR necessary?
* There is a vanilla/single-core implementation: math/blas and math/lapack.
I don't know if they are useful any more, but I think blaslapack.mk should
also offer these options, for completeness.
Comments on this?
Best regards,
Fernando
