Current trunk wheel at
http://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/scipy_installers/numpy-1.8.0.dev_a89a36e-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl

Testing welcome.  You'll need OSX and latest setuptools and latest pip and :

    curl -O http://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/scipy_installers/numpy-1.8.0.dev_a89a36e-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
    pip install --pre --no-index --find-links . numpy

I built the wheel on a 10.9 laptop and tested it on a bare-metal
no-compiler 10.6 laptop, so I think it will work.

I'll set up daily wheel build / tests on our buildbots as well.

Cheers,

Matthew
