[SciPy-dev] More OSX fun

[Robert Kern]

I have managed to compile scipy on Mac OS X using unstable Fink's
Python, ATLAS, and FFTW.

I fixed the problem that prevented Chris Fonnesbeck from compiling, but
as there are no unittests, I'm not sure it totally works. The fix is a
bit of a hack, but it compiles. Turns out some of the enum names in
supermatrix.h are #defined constants in some header. My grep-fu hasn't
yet revealed where they are from, yet, but I can conditionally #undef
them.

I also fixed a problem in fastumath by porting in some changes from
Numeric 23.1's umath's logical_* functions to address the same problem.
Unfortunately, porting in similar changes from the equal, less, greater,
etc. functions breaks things. I'll look into that some more when I can
steal some more time.

Below are the last two failures from the tests. They are errors in
numerical accuracy only.
