#491: Build cares about being in an SVN checkout

     Type:  defect           |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  high             |   Milestone:       
Component:  numpy.distutils  |     Version:  devel
 Severity:  normal           |    Keywords:       
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 Currently, the build process for numpy requires one to be in an SVN
 checkout or have the appropriate files generated from an sdist done from
 an SVN checkout. This prevents people from working from an SVN export or
 with distributed version control tools like SVK or any of the DVCSs that
 can be supported by tailor. This patch removes the restriction.

 Builds done from outside an SVN checkout and are not releases will still
 have a {{{'.dev'}}} appended to the version number. F2PY will have a
 version of {{{'2_?'}}} as seems to have been the default when
 {{{__svn_version__.py}}} could not be found.

 If no one complains, I will check this in shortly. Pearu, I'm CCing you
 about the F2PY version number. If you have another preference, please
 suggest it.
