Thank you! Building numpy from svn did eliminate the "error: file
'dfftpack/*.f' does not exist" message when building scipy, and the
scipy compilation proceeded much further. However, it still produces an
error which appears to be due to a failure to recognize the ID of ifort
10.

I've already had to fix one problem in distutils due to Intel changing
'mkl_lapack32' in MKL8.1 to 'mkl_lapack' in MKL9.1. It appears another
change is needed, perhaps in numpy/distutils/fcompiler/intel.py
