Hey Charles,

I think it would be a good idea to do as you suggest and look into 
making the oldnumeric.ma compatibility layer work as well as possible. 

The problem is that the old compatibility layer was a pretty light 
wrapper around the old numpy.core.ma. 

I guess what could be done is to take the old numpy.core.ma file and 
move it into oldnumeric.ma (along with the few re-namings that are there 
now)?  Could you test that option out and see if it works for you?

Thanks,
