So here is how I see things in the near future for release:
- compile a simple binary installer for mac os x and windows (no need
for doc or multiple archs) from 1.4.x
- test this with the scipy binary out there (running the full test
suites), ideally other well known packages as well (matplotlib,
pytables, etc...).
- if it works for you, or you cannot easily test it, put it for wide
testing as a basis for the 1.4.0.1 binary
- if it works, make a RC1 for Numpy 1.4.0.1 ("full" binaries).

I think we need to push this ASAP to recover from the current
confusion w.r.t. binaries.

cheers,

David
