The separation is due the fact that newcore is a replacement for Numeric
and not all people need full scipy.

Ideally, when checking out scipy, one should get also scipy_core:
And when checking out scipy_core, one should get only scipy_core.
This was easy to handle with CVS but as I have understood not so with SVN.

In addtion, one needs to have scipy_core installed before building 
scipy. I think this is the main reason for keeping scipy_core and 
scipy separate.

On the other hand, we could move the contents of scipy/Lib/ directory 
to scipy_core/scipy and have separate setup.py files for scipy and 
scipy_core. But that would mean that only-scipy_core interested people 
would get full scipy sources from SVN (unless there are some SVN tricks 
to prevent that).
