I'm inclined to put the ABI fixes in trunk as well for the time being.  The
two changes of note, moving the 'cast' array to the end of  PyArray_ArrFuncs
and making 'flags' in PyArray_Descr bigger, can be reapplied if the 2.0
refactor ends up needing them.  I think for 2.0, more extensive
future-proofing will be desirable anyway, so trunk may as well be ABI
compatible until it's clear what changes are necessary.
