I removed them from the installer because they were quite big and didn't
bring a significant improvement compared to ATLAS compiled for P4.
In the end, the idea is to also provide ATLAS compiled for SSE1-only
processors, but I still didn't find the opportunity to produce the DLL.

This message is harmless and has now been removed. You can safely
ignore it. Whether this message appears depends on your graphics card
and the java version (with 1.5, it always appears).

This is a race condition I should have a look at. Does it also
appear if you call "figure" first to simply create the figure window,
before calling plotting commands?

Currently, Z labels are not supported. Avoid using "zlabel".
