So, in particular, does this mean that it is read from (relative to the
location of the main setup.py file)
numpy/distutils/site.cfg ??
Yes, that is a bad place. We need some suggestions as to where
site.cfg should be read from.
I think you can set the environment variable ATLAS to 'None' and it will
ignore ATLAS... I believe this is true of any of the configuration
options.
