that would be really useful.

Sounds good. If you could describe the virtualenv setup Andreas, and I'll add a description of using an in-place build, plus when to use which, then that should cover the basics.

This should also be described in http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/dev/gitwash/, but unfortunately it doesn't. The instructions on sending patches are also really outdated, they still recommend to attached patches to a Trac ticket. In case you've read that doc, *please don't do that*. Send a pull request on Github instead.

@Matthew: should this also be fixed in https://github.com/matthew-brett/gitwash?
