Right, the boost numeric support can be toggled between Numeric
and numarray using 

numeric::array::set_module_and_type

Currently we set this to use Numeric in num_test_mod.cpp -- we'll
switch to numarray after it includes support for object arrays
(presumably this is coming in v. 0.7).

Just to reiterate, boost::python and Numpy can be connected using
boost::python::numeric::array without num_util, we are just providing
some utility functions we find useful in our own code.
