If you really need it, note that numpy can be built with scons instead 
of distutils, and the scons scripts are now available in numpy svn (and 
will be included in the releases sources starting from 1.1.0).

Scons severely lacks in the cross-compilation departement, but I think 
scons scripts are easier to adapt to cmake than distutils setup.py files 
if you need to use cmake :) I would actually be quite interested in 
making numpy build in a cross-compilation environment with scons

cheers,
