you can probably get the stuff you want running under win. I'd be very 
surprised if all of Konrad's code was tied to unix (though I can't tell for 
sure, I use it under unix).

Scipy is early and still a bit rough to install, but fabulous. And yes, you 
NEED numpy for anything numerical in python above the toy level. Both 
konrad's libs and scipy are numpy based anyway.
