Thanks a lot Pearu!

gistC.so ends up in the right place now.
There is also a duplicate under
 scipy/xplt/sandbox/scipy/sandbox/xplt/gistC.so
Not sure where this comes from/how to get rid off this.

Note that presently xplt is not yet working
(a few replaces from `scipy.xplt` to `scipy.sandbox.xplt`
have to be made). After this, the first error is
a typecode one. I will look into all this over the weekend.

Best, Arnd
