[Matrix-SIG] Outer is a method of ufuncs

[Paul F. Dubois]

If someone would mail me a fixed version of Mlab.py I'll put it in the
archive.

This is an example of my previous concern about "higher-level" stuff being
mixed in with NumPy. We have a maintenance problem and the more non-core
stuff we put in the worse it gets. On the other hand, everyone wants a
complete, Matlab/IDL/Basis/Yorick-like collection.
