You will need to use bdist_mpkg:

  http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/bdist_mpkg/

Note that with scipy, the FORTRAN-using extension modules will end up linked
against your FORTRAN compiler's dynamic runtime libraries. The binaries you make
will need those runtime libraries to be present. You will have to have your
users install the same FORTRAN compiler you used.
