Just a quick look. I wasn't able to add comments to the code, maybe a pull
request would allow that or maybe you need to enable something. Also, it is
best to work in a branch, see the new
notes<%20%20%20%20http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/dev/gitwash/development_workflow.html>on
the GIT workflow. I'm not sure how broadcasting is supposed to work
for
structured arrays so I will leave that to someone else. ISTR that the SUN
compiler is persnickety about the initialization of structures, only accepts
constants or some such. I'll try to track that down or maybe someone here
who is familiar with that compiler can comment.

Thanks for the work.
