numpy.scons branch
This is a much more massive change. Scons itself adds something like 350 kb to a bzip tarball.
If numpy build system will not depend on scons (is this right?) then .. Is it strictly needed to distribute scons with numpy? Well, the choice is between requiring another dependency, with all the version problems, and including it in the sources; also, although numpy would not depend on scons in any way with the changes I suggested for 1.0.4, it would have helped detecting problems on some platforms. And I hope that in the end, scons will be used for numpy (for 1.1 ?), once I finish the conversion.
I don't see situations where adding 350 Kb in the tarball can be an issue, so could you tell me what the problem would be ? cheers, David
