Apologies for the continued OT... I _have_ considered a commercial 
license, but so far, no knowledge of who might be interested. Again, not 
being a lawyer, I'm not even sure if this is clear cut and I can do it 
without a license myself (I think the GPL gets very confusing when it 
comes to runtime linking with some implementation of a published API, 
and interpreted languages make it even more so).

So, I'll put this out there, if anyone has a need for python wrappers 
for a commercial FFTW, please get in touch. All options considered. :)

Cheers,
