Yes, we are all looking forward to it:)
On the other hand, note that if we would make the tarball now that should 
work perfectly under Linux (and may be on other platforms as well) then
under freebsd it might not be as smooth as you just discovered. So, 
to support freebsd in offical tarball someone has to test CVS scipy first
and together solve any merging issues.
