update: I have commented out 'config.add_subpackage('special')' in 
newscipy/Lib/setup.py, reinstalled, and voila:

In [1]:import scipy
Importing utils to scipy
Importing io to scipy
Importing optimize to scipy
Importing interpolate to scipy
Importing linalg to scipy

scipy.test then fails, but that's other thing. what is so offending in 
'special' package? namely what has changed since 
beginnign-of-last-week's revisions of newscipy? 'import scipy' worked 
for me then...
