[Cython] python 2.7/3.x and numpy-dev (Dag, I need a quick comment)

I'm working on a patch to get old, recent, and dev NumPy working in
2.7/3.x. So far, I had success, but I still have two failures like the
one pasted below.

Dag, could you elaborate a bit about the purpose of
__Pyx_BufFmt_CheckString() ? It is just a validity check for pep 3118
format strings? Do you expect the failure below to be hard to fix?

Just in case, the format string that triggers the failure is:

>>> memoryview(np.zeros((1,), dtype=np.dtype('b,i', align=False))).format
'T{b:f0:=i:f1:}'
