Switching to numpy 1.4 requires recompiling cython code (i.e. scipy),
there's a lot of information on the details in the mailing lists.

No this is unrelated, this is just to reduce namespace pollution in __all__

vonmises_cython is still imported as an internal module and  functions
in distributions.

Then, I expect you will get an import error or some other exception
when you try to use stats.vonmises.
