PyQwt-CVS now also supports  the 'N-D array interface' protocol
( http://numpy.scipy.org/array_interface.shtml ), so that recent
versions of the numerical Python extension (numpy, numarray
or Numeric) will work with PyQwt, even when they are not present
when PyQwt is being built.  Users can install at least one of those
extensions when they think it is worthwhile (it is IMO).

PyQwt-CVS is also compatible with the new header file policy of
the SIP snapshots.

What do you want me to do so that PyQwt gets into your exe
installer.  Do I have to release PyQwt-5.0.2 (a few days)? or
will a snapshot do (tonight)?
