The code in SVN still breaks for more complicated dtypes, such as:

np.dtype([('x', int), ('y', [('t', int), ('s', float)])])

Please find attached a patch which addresses the issue (it passes all
unit tests).

This bit is illegal syntax in Python 2.3

X.append(tuple(conv(val) for (conv, val) in zip(converterseq, vals)))

So this isn't going to work for 1.1.1
