There are both unofficial individual binaries and EPD-based numpy/scipy. 
One example of unofficial builds are there:

Not exactly, although it prevents from building Atlas for 64 bits. The 
main issue is gcc/VS interoperabilities, especially for gfortran. I have 
not taken the time to work in it the last few months. For various 
reasons, I don't think it makes sense for NumPy itself to provide 
binaries which do not use open source compilers.

cheers,
