Log:
Version bump to numpy-1.0rc1. numpy is the replacement for numeric and numarray
in Python. numpy-1.0 works fine with Python2.5.

-Why Numerical Python?
-If x and y are Numerical Python arrays, then the speed of the operation
-x + y is close to the speed of doing it in C if the arrays are big
-enough. Thus, Python can be extended with a full scientific array
-language with sophisticated indexing and shaping operations and yet be
-closer to the speed of a compiled language than to the speed of Python
-itself.
+numpy contains:
+    *  a powerful N-dimensional array object
+    * sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
+    * basic linear algebra functions
+    * basic Fourier transforms
+    * sophisticated random number capabilities
+    * tools for integrating Fortran code.
+
+NumPy derives from the old Numeric code base and can be used as a replacement
+for Numeric.  It also adds the features introduced by Numarray and can also be
+used to replace Numarray.
