Hi David,

thanks for this advise.
Can I use numscons to build scipy-0.7.1 and numpy-1.3.0 or should I use 
their current svn version ?

Another question, using numscons to build scipy implicitly means that 
numpy should have been built using numscons too (cf. compilers options 
that might be different, etc.) ?
