[SciPy-dev] Is this a bugfix for scipy.hilbert?

Hi -

attached is a file with a couple of tests. I am not sure this tests the
issues we were dealing with previously (the axis issues, etc.), but it has
some sensible test-cases, which compare to what Matlab would give you (not
quite 10by3 or 10by6, but as you can see, they make sense). Also - all the
assertions are assert_almost_equal. Do you think that's OK? I think there
are float-precision issues here, which would make assert_equal fail, but I
am not sure - I would be happy to get any general comments on these tests,
in case I am doing this all wrong.

Cheers,

Ariel
