Here's a new patch that checks if sys.platform == 'win32' and does the 
appropriate thing. MKL on linux behaviour should be unaffected, but I 
don't have any way of testing that.

I've also included an improved .numpy-site.cfg file.

I've added a section on how to build with MKL and MSVC to 
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Windows

Cheers,

Martin
