The fix will not be in 0.7, but in 0.8. 0.7 will only warn that the
API will change in 0.8. I will close/update the other tickets
according to your comments, thanks for the help.

I will need to find a fix for scipy to work on machines without SSE,
too, I am not sure about the best way to solve it (the problem is in
numpy.distutils, so I may need to do something dirty to circumvent
it).

cheers,
