[Numpy-discussion] 64bit infrastructure

[Travis Oliphant]

I'm actually not sure, why.   I think the issue is making sure that the release manager can actually "build" NumPy without having to buy a particular compiler.  

But, I would rather have official builds of NumPy for all platforms with a compiler paid for by a NumPy-sponsor than not have them.
