Forgot to mention my previous version of scipy was build against numpy
release 1.3.0

I recompiled scipy, and have no problems building and running scipy
trunk against numpy trunk.

One problem I had, was that during the build of scipy,    gcc failed
with unknown npymath.
I had to copy the file libnpymath.a to my Python libs directory, then
the build finished without
problems.
