OK, what I did on my Mac:

1) look under the Squeak app and edit the Contents/Info.plist
2) change value of SqueakPluginsBuiltInOrLocalOnly to "No"
   otherwise library loading is restricted to the Squeak app bundle
3) copy the veclib framework library files (dylib) in same directory as
squeak image
4) launch Squeak
5) install Smallapack
    follow instruction from
https://github.com/nicolas-cellier-aka-nice/smallapack/wiki/SmallapackSqueak
6) change CBlasLibrary class>>moduleName 'libcblas.dylib' -> 'libBlas.dylib'
    nowadays, cblas and blas are in the same dylib...
7) change CLapackLibrary class>>moduleName 'libclapack.dylib' ->
'libLapack.dylib'
    idem
8) re-initialize the cache (I know, I know, there are too many...)
    CBlasLibrary install. CLapackLibrary install. LapackMatrix
resetBlasInterfaces; resetLapackInterfaces.
9) run the TestCBlas suite

It should be green
I will commit the changes later, and will probably implement moduleNames as
a Preference (pragma oriented).
No need to override code anymore :)

I think step 3) is necessary because of ioLoadModuleRaw() in
platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqMacUnixExternalPrims.m
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqMacUnixExternalPrims.m
It would only look those frameworks:

                static char *frameworks[]=
                {
                        "",
                        "/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks",
                        "/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks",
                        "/Carbon.framework/Frameworks",
                        0
                };

But I did step 3) before I tried 1) + 2), adn did not retry, so maybe I'm
wrong...
Scanning all the frameworks is not a solution. And what if we want a
specific version?
It would be far better to be able to specify the path to the library from
within the image like VW...
