fftpack is always used (for real to real fft, for example), and 
integrated in scipy. Ubuntu and debian link against fftw2. I don't know 
about rpm-based distributions.

The code in the refactor_fft branch is now ready to split fftpack into 
the parts which will stay in scipy (fftpack, djbfft ?) and the others, 
which will go into a scikits. I will then work on the registration 
system suggested by Robert, which should not be difficult to do.

cheers,
