I haven't looked at this yet, but I set up the repository, added your name
to the numpy core developers, and put in a pull request merging the
rational stuff.

If you would like, I can also merge in the quaternion type so you can start
working with the repository. The build will need to be fixed up so it can
work with quaternions in a subdirectory.
