[Matrix-SIG] Python bindings to FFTW updated to Version 0.5

[Travis Oliphant]

Python bindings for FFTW Version 0.5

FFTW is a very fast implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform written
in C.  I have wrapped up the library so that is available to python.  It
depends on the Numerical Extension module as that is the object used to
pass data back and forth to the module.

I have updated the python bindings to FFTW to bring them up-to-date with
the latest FFTW-2.0.1 release.  Also included is a module called FFT2.py
which is a drop-in replacement for FFT.py in the Numerical Python
distribution.  An included benchmark script shows FFT2 to be 25-30%
faster than FFT on my pentium-based systems.
