[Numpy-discussion] Source release of 0.9.6 on sourceforge is wrong

[Sasha]

I've downloaded numpy-0.9.6.tar.gz from SF about a month ago and it was fine:

> tar tzf ~/Archives/numpy-0.9.6.tar.gz
numpy-0.9.6/
numpy-0.9.6/numpy/
numpy-0.9.6/numpy/core/
numpy-0.9.6/numpy/core/blasdot/
numpy-0.9.6/numpy/core/blasdot/_dotblas.c
numpy-0.9.6/numpy/core/blasdot/cblas.h
...
