[Pythonmac-SIG] Building Numeric Python on Panther

I just downloaded the latest versions of numarray and Numeric Python.
numarray builds and installs without problems, but Numeric fails -- it
seems to have a bad setup.py file that references missing directories
such as "/usr/include/atlas".  Is there a set of patches for building
this on Panther against the stock 2.3.0 Python release?

(Bonus question: the Numeric Python documentation makes it clear that
numarray should be used, but not how.  Is numarray a substitute for
all of Numeric?  If not, should numarray be installed before NumPy?)
