I'm in the middle of wrapping HDF5 using SWIG and numeric and I've run
into a problem.  HDF5 makes extensive use of signed and unsigned long
long data types.  After a quick look at numeric, it appears that
numeric only supports signed longs (PyArray_LONG).

Should I add signed and unsigned long longs to numeric?  If so, what
version of numeric should I start from and are there any surprises
that I need to know about.
