Hi Chris -

I think you are correct.  The solution I posted is not
a long term solution for the eventual average numpy/scipy user. It was
just a response to Belinda's original need for "Advice on a painless
way to install scipy on my G5 OS X 10.4.8 mac".  I don't mind waiting
for things to compile so it seems painless to me.
