I should note, however, that I can't get scipy_core to build at all with 
current CVS (even without my patch).  Something was broken in the scipy_core 
build, here's what I get:

[...]

Is this related to the problems Todd was discussing this morning?  If the 
scipy_core build is fixed, it seems that with my patch we could have an easy 
way to build rpms for all of scipy in a few lines, without needing 
scipy_distutils installed.  But I don't know how to fix the current breakage.

Cheers,
