I did a quick fix of this issue and made it available as part of pull
request #158:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/158

I simply reused the argmax code, but flipped the arguments for the
comparison operations.  This did require modifying some header files, so I
don't know how big of an issue that will be.
