That is IMHO the wrong approach. You want BLAS, you just want to control it.
And as I tried to explain, Rcpp and Armadillo really have nothing to do with it.

This has all been discussed before, and AFAICT, also solved.  I think one (R)
package did something wrong on intialization -- but AFAICR this was fixed a
while back.  Also check the r-sig-hpc archives on that.

You certainly can. 

I really do not think you have to.
