Free LAPACK for Intel Fortran 8 on Windows?

I'm helping a colleague compile a chemical equilibrium dynamics code, which it turns out depends on LAPACK. The compiler we're using is Intel Visual Fortran (version 8, though I think he's got a copy of version 9 coming shortly) on Windows, which means using it via the Visual Studio interface.

Now, I know that one can easily download a copy of LAPACK and the reference BLAS implementation from Netlib. And, for our purposes, that's exactly what we need for now -- this isn't a situation where the fact that the reference BLAS is rather slow will be a problem.

The problem is: The Netlib version is designed to be built with a makefile, and it looks like it would be rather a distinct pain to set things up to compile it through Visual Studio instead.

Thus: question: Is there an easier way to obtain a compiled LAPACK library that is compatible with Intel Fortran, which does not involve lots of work translating makefiles, and which also does not involve buying Intel's Math Kernel Library? If so, what is it?

Thanks much!
