You have found a glitch in our new automated build process, and Pearu has
hit the nail on the head about the problem.

As a result, I've modified the build process to build the source tarballs
under Linux. This should cause all of the source code for SciPy to be
included (even in the Windows .zip file, which should just be ignored when
building SciPy on Windows platforms).

I'm running a test of the new process now, and the new source tarballs
should be available shortly.

BTW, the tables on the 'Downloads' and 'Scoreboard' pages are now color
coded to indicate the platform the build/process was run on. So you'll know
the new tarballs are available when the 'SciPy source' section on the
'Downloads' page turns from Windows 'green' to Linux 'pink' :-)

Thanks guys for catching this problem...
