[MATRIX-SIG] Reworked NumPy

[Konrad Hinsen]

Believe it or not, but NumPy has profited from a virus. A biological
virus, of course, which forced me to stay in bed for three days - and
what better could I do there than a bit of Python hacking?

So here it is - the first Eezee-Install (TM) version of NumPy.
A quote from the new installation instructions:

1) Copy the file Misc/Makefile.pre.in from the Python distribution
   to this directory (not necessary from Python version 1.5a4).
2) Type
      python compile.py
3) Type
      python install.py

I have tested it with Python 1.4 and 1.5a4 and a couple of applications;
it seems to work as expected. The installation scripts are still rather
primitive and do no error checking, but they show how easy installation
can be made with a bit of effort.

All relevant information about the modifications is in the README - so
just grab it and test it for yourself. The URL is
     http://starship.skyport.net/crew/hinsen/numpy.tar.gz

Konrad.
