Talk is cheap :) This is exactly what I've started a few days ago, you 
are more than welcomed to help me:

I've already binary packages for numpy + scipy using NETLIB BLAS and 
LAPACK (also packaged by myself, as I had various problems with the ones 
distributed by fedora and open suse), am working on atlas 3.7.*  (which 
is by far the most difficult), and intend to do at least fftw3 and 
umfpack along.

cheers,

David
