I thought that was weird, too.   I did some housecleaning over the 
weekend, and I must have screwed things up instead of cleaned things up.

OK, so I got rid of all my build directories, and my numpy and scipy 
directories, and tried to rebuild from svn (for no particular reason, 
but I've done it easily in the past).  Numpy went fine, but scipy did 
this:  (I don't want to waste people's time on this ... if it's 
something peculiar to me, and hard to track down, I'll just go back to 
the official released binary installer.)
