I have applied your patch with some minor modifications to CVS.

Although now one can build scipy without installing scipy_core, one 
must still have f2py installed. And f2py requires scipy_distutils. So, 
packagers still need to take into account that the correct order of
installing software is:
   scipy_core
   f2py
   scipy
