[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] compile problems

NumPy1.0a4 will only work with Python1.4.  There are a number of small
changes that have been made to Python 1.4 in order to support NumPy (and
similar extensions), and I take full advantage of them.  NumPy0.36 is the
last version that works with Python1.3.

I have had no problem building Python1.4 on my alpha/osf machine using gcc.
 I'd reccommend going that route for now until the official release of 1.4
(which knowing Guido will compilke out of the box just about everywhere).
