The problem with not providing these binaries is that they are at the bottom of everyone's stack, so a delay in numpy holds everyone back.
OTOH, so far it's been an *excellent* excuse for those of us further up the stack not to make a 64-bit binary. It sounds like we're completely out of luck on 64-bit Windows with free tools? So the rest of the community is going to face shelling out for compiler licenses as well?
Normally you'd only need the free (as in beer) MS C compilers. You'd need a (possibly free) MKL license if you wanted to link against an optimized blas / lapack (it seems), and you'd need to use the Intel ifort compiler if you had fortran code in there (I think). Cheers, Matthew
