Yes, I need to fix Noel's CMakeLists -- it needs a special case for if(APPLE)
here. That should show up in SVN in the next 15 minutes or so.

Well, I haven't tried, it, but if you can give me a python script which gives
the appropriate destination directory, I can hack the CMake code. e.g.
EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE} -c
"import numpy; print numpy.get_include()"
OUTPUT_VARIABLE NUMPY_INCLUDE_DIR)
This particular bit gives CMake the location of the numpy headers. I'm sure
there's some similar function call for distutils, right?
Cheers,
