[Numpy-discussion] [EXTERNAL] swig interface file (numpy.i) warning

[Tom Krauss]

This code reproduces the error - I think it is small enough for email.
 (large) numpy.i not included, let me know if you want that too.  Makefile
will need to be tailored to your environment.
If it's more convenient, or you have trouble reproducing, I can create a
branch on github - let me know.
