Feature request: Manage BLAS symlinks #212
Description
It would be very helpful if rig could take care of managing BLAS/LAPACK libraries used by all the installed versions by setting the relevant symlinks. There's a lot of payoff to switching these to Accelerate on macOS but it's a pretty obscure thing to set and track the status of.
Something like rig system blas set [version] [blas lib] and rig system blas status to switch and look up the library of the R framework would be very helpful, or even an option to set the default for all R versions, including on install.

Yes, this would be a godsend, even it was just limited to supporting Accelerate and OpenBLAS. Changing the BLAS/LAPACK libraries used by R is something that many users don't know how to do, but would nonetheless greatly benefit from. It would be nice if rig could simplify this process for users.
Add rig system blas
