[pypy-dev] libdynd

[Matti Picus]

Did Travis seem to indicate they would accept contributions from outside 
toward making a new ndarray implementation a reality? Until we can find 
a wagon to hitch our minimal efforts to, I will keep working slowly on 
micronumpy. It seems useful for some tasks, and will be even more so 
once linalg LAPACK/BLAS is supported (i.e. once we can invert a large 
matrix).
