Ok, this seems reasonable. Installing from source makes sense if you are
developing extensions.

Now, does anyone know how to write a setup.py that will indicate that
there are headers in ...../include/python2.3/Numeric/

Note that I can't hard-code the path, because Linux puts the whole pile
somewhere else, and I want it to work with other versions of python. I
guess what I would like it for distutils to automatically look in
sub-directories of the main include directory, but it doesn't seem to do
this by default.
