Scipy trunk requires at least the changes Pauli, Chuck and me have been 
working on for improving scipy.special.

At the source level, numpy 2.0 is compatible with numpy 1.4.0 AFAIK, and 
scipy does not use datetime, so the scipy trunk should not require numpy 
2.0. IOW, the story would be:
	- Scipy 0.7.2 (created from the 0.7.x svn branch): compatible with 
numpy >= 1.3.0 (including 2.0)
	- Scipy 0.8.0 (from trunk): compatible with numpy >= 1.4.0.

cheers,
