In current SVN, I think improved on the current state by only calling a 
scalar a signed integer if it is actually negative (previously only it's 
data-type was checked and all Python integers get converted to 
PyArray_LONG data-types which are signed integers).

This fixes the immediate problem, I think.

What are opinions on this scalar-coercion rule?
