Unfortunately, I don't think anyone's actively working on it right
now. It's probably a superficial fix for someone who knows NumPy and
Cython decently well, but I have no idea myself (not having looked
that deeply into it.) Does anyone know what the backwards incompatible
NumPy 1.4 -> 1.5 changes were?
