airy.h exists now for me on both the CVS head and 1.2.3.  airy.h did not
always exist throughout the entire pre-release lifespan of version 1.2
so if you did a checkout (cvs checkout numarray or cvs update numarray)
and saw 1.2,  there's no guarantee what the state of airy.h would have
been.  

CVS versions just tend to be stale.  I tag CVS and change the numarray
version only when I do a tarball or semi-formal tests involving other
people.  Also note that CVS can be used with dates rather than version
numbers or tags,  so there is some recourse even when
numarray.__version__ isn't telling the whole story.
