Cool!  I hadn't seen that before, and it seems to work on the simple 
test case I tried.  I made a setup script rather than fiddling with the 
Makefile.  This seems like a useful enough utility that it should get 
wider exposure.  Too bad it can't be incorporated into scipy as is (GPL 
vs. BSD license issues...).

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Setup script for matfile
"""

from distutils.core import setup, Extension
import distutils.sysconfig
import os

numpy_inc_dir = os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc(),'Numeric')
matfile_dir = 'matfile' # off current directory

matfile_srcs = ['mat_open.c', 'mat_read_array.c', 'mat_copy_data.c',
         'mat_free_array.c', 'mat_read_array4.c', 'mat_write_array4.c',
         'mat_read_array5.c', 'mat_subarray5.c', 'mat_utils5.c']
matfile_srcs = [ os.path.join(matfile_dir,src) for src in matfile_srcs ]

setup(name="matfile",
       description = "MATLAB .mat file reader for Python",
       author = "Nigel Wade",
       author_email = "nmw at ion.le.ac.uk",
       license = "GNU GPL",
       ext_modules = [Extension(name='matfile',
                                sources=['matfilemodule.c']+matfile_srcs,
                                include_dirs=[matfile_dir,
                                              numpy_inc_dir])])
