I think it's a good idea.

I propose the following:

1) we move your repo to bitbucket/pypy/numpypy

2) we package numpypy, so that people can just do "pip install numpypy"

3) once numpypy is installed, we no longer require the ugly "import numpypy"; 
a simple "import numpy" will just work.

4) for some time at least, we distribute a numpypy.py so that when imported it 
prints an error message which explain how to get the newer numpypy

What do you think?
