[SciPy-User] Building NumPy 1.6.0 with MKL and MSVS9 on XP 32bit

[Klonuo Umom]

> In IPython, gives this results:
> 
> Cygwin/ATLAS   : 1 loops, best of 3: 843 ms per loop
> Windows/ATLAS* : 1 loops, best of 3: 1.29 s per loop
> Windows/MKL    : 1 loops, best of 3: 2.37 s per loop

FYI, in Octave 3.2.4 same test took 31 ms - 27 times faster then above best

Here are also some other simple linalg tests on same matrix (in seconds):

| fun | ATLAS    | MKL      | OCTAVE    |
|-----|----------|----------|-----------|
| svd |  30.9    |  14.3    |   6.844   |
| inv |   7.41   |   2.74   |   1.906   |
| eig | 116      |  25.2    |  45.05    |
