PLAPACK FORTRAN-C interface

PLAPACK provides platform independent level-3 BLAS calls, by adding the prefix ``PLA_''. Thus the FORTRAN call

CALL DGEMM( "N", "N", M, N, K, ALPHA, A, LDA, B, LDB, BETA, C, LDC )

becomes the C call

PLA_dgemm( "N", "N", &m, &n, &k, &alpha, a, &lda, b, &ldb, 
                                 &beta, c, &ldc );

Recall only the first character of the string parameters are checked. Thus "N" is equivalent to "No transpose".
