 Looks like some distutils voodoo is needed:

 {{{

 /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:c:\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.3.0
 /LIBPATH:C:\Python25\libs /LIBPATH:C:\Python25\PCBuild

 /IMPLIB:build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\numpy\core\src\multiarray.lib
 LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'gfortran.lib'
 }}}

 This is a problem for win64, as g77 is not ported there, only gfortran is.
