I thought it was possible to do this with wheels. It's already possible to
have wheels or sdists whose dependencies vary by platform I thought.

The BLAS dependency is different. In particular the sdist is compatible
with more cases than a wheel would be so the built wheel would have a more
precise requirement than the sdist. Is that not possible with
pip/wheels/PyPI or is that a limitation of using setuptools to build the
wheel?

I imagined having numpy Require "blas OR openblas". Then openblas package
Provides "blas". Any other BLAS library also provides "blas". If you do
"pip install numpy" and "blas" is already provided then the numpy wheel
installs fine. Otherwise it falls back to installing openblas.

Potentially "blas" is not specific enough so the label could be
"blas-gfortran" to express the ABI.
