It did not check the code now, but aren't all this correlation method 
calculated in time domain ?

I was quite confused some months ago when trying to calculate 
correlation of bigger data and then implemented an FFT version.
So I think it would be useful if (at least in scipy.signal) it 
automatically calculates the correlation in frequency domain with bigger 
data - AFAIK that's also the way it is done in matlab ...
