It seems that it will be quite difficult to fix the issue without 
removing something (I tried to use datetime as user types, but this 
opened a can of worms), so I am (quite reluctantly ) coming to the 
conclusion we should just bite the bullet and change the ABI number (so 
that importing anything will fail instead of crashing randomly).

Something like numpy 1.4.0.1, which would just have a different ABI 
number than 1.4.0, without anything else.

cheers,
