Yes, though I'm not sure what you mean by merging.

Do you mean lipo'ing them together? or having separate builds in one *.mpkg?

Ideally, we could get it all truly Universal, then one could build 
Universal Py2App  bundles with it and all.

I think the big trick with SciPy is the Fortran components. SciPy, 
Fortran and gcc 4 have been having trouble for a while. If that's fixed, 
I have no idea about how to build Universal binaries with gfortran or 
g95. Does anyone know?


While I'm on the topic, I'm looking into building Universal binaries of 
some other packages that depend on other libs. For instance, matplotlib 
depends on libpng and libfreetype. In the past, I've built static libs 
of those, and then linked MPL against them, getting a nice 
self-contained package. However, I have no idea how I would go about 
building Universal static libs, or two sets of libs, or????

Any suggestions?
