[Numpy-discussion] preferred numpy build system

I would not say that numscons is a *new* build system.  Rather, I look
at numscons as a glue layer that allows scons to be used within
distutils for building extensions and libraries.
distutils/numpy/distutils does things that scons doesn't and scons
does things that distutils doesn't.  But you definitely need the glue
layer to use both approaches together.
