Hi, Can I check what is stopping us building official numpy binary wheels for Windows using the Intel Math Kernel Library? * We'd need developer licenses, but those sound like they would be easy to come by * We'd have to add something to the license for the wheel on the lines of the Canopy license [1], derived from the MKL license [2] - is that a problem? Are there other problems for numpy? * I believe we would also need the Intel Fortran compiler when building 64-bit scipy with MSVC. Is that correct? If we have a license, is that a problem? If we did static linking to MKL for numpy and scipy, is there anything stopping us building wheels that would work for XP and above, for 32 and 64 bit? Maybe this is not the ideal solution, but perhaps it's the right thing to do for now?
