Hi, is there a way of building MKL.jl such that it uses the MKL library of the (anaconda) Python that PyCall.jl is linked to? The reason is the issue arising when two different builds of MKL are combined: [PyPlot conflict with Intel MKL?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pyplot-conflict-with-intel-mkl/720).

I’d be happy to use MKL but I use PyPlot.jl very often, so it’s a no-go for me.

It works. I made a [pull request](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/MKL.jl/pull/35) with the latest master update! Thanks for the hint 🙂
