Interesting, thanks Daniel.

This does immediately bring back memories of the now deceased Numscons:
https://github.com/cournape/numscons. David Cournapeau wrote quite a bit
about it on his blog: https://cournape.wordpress.com/?s=numscons
Are you aware of it? It was able to build numpy and scipy, so maybe there's
still something worth stealing from it (it's 6 years old by now though).

Cheers,
Ralf
