Not to look a patch-horse in the mouth, but IMHO,  the sys.platform idea
is good but the VECLIB_PATH elimination maybe less so.  The reason I
question the VECLIB_PATH change is that we're removing explicit and
generally harmless extra information in exchange for two assumptions: 
(1) gcc knows the path already  (2) the numarray Mac user is using gcc. 
Other opinions?  Mac users please speak up if you think the  VECLIB_PATH
change is a good one or it won't get done.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll make the sys.platform change later
today.

Todd
