That is the latest publicly posted code. Since then, there is just one minor 
patch (attached) which enables use of row-major (c-contiguous) arrays.

This does *not* work with strided arrays which would be a fair bit of effort 
to support. Further, you will have to work with the numpy iterator interface, 
which, while well-designed, is a great illustration of the effort required to 
support OO programming in an non-OO language, and is pretty tedious to map to 
the ublas storage iterator interface. If you do implement it, I would very 
much like to take a look at it.
