Note that the current build system using numpy.distutils would still be 
the default, and that the branch does *not* include numscons. IOW, the 
only things merged in the trunk would be the hook in distutils to call 
scons, the scons scripts, as well as a few modifications which hopefully 
should not change anything.

Although there is still a lot to do in numscons, I don't expect much 
changes in the merged code.

cheers,

David
