Oh crap, nothing seems to work for anyone else ;)

Yep, it's a part of that, but it's only necessary on Python 2.6. The
Memoryview object is a part of Python proper starting from Python 2.7.
It was a huge convenience for the implementation to be able to keep
track of buffers via refcounting, so I backported that bit.

On Python 3.1, the numpymemoryview_init is a stub function that does
nothing. I guess this is another single-file compilation issue -- the
new file should be included in multiarraymodule_onefile.c. Should be
fixed now.
