Actually, it's not f2py here that's using nested functions.  It's the 
"user code" in the actual .pyf file. 
This should be changed so that a nested function is not used.   Either a 
module-level function should be
defined or the calculation written as a big macro.

I'd like to figure out why you are getting errors also in the scipy core 
after compiling with icc.   This will require a bit of detective work, 
however, and may not happen for awhile.
