splitting out a sub-package is ugly. there are plans to include numpy
into the python core, but it looks like these are stalled
(http://numpy.scipy.org/array_interface.shtml).

the original request was to get the CD size down, and the only package
depending on numpy is pygtk. pygtk does use the multiarray module for
two functions (one of them is deprecated): GdkPixbuf.pixel_array and
GdkPixbuf.get_pixels_array. Both functions are not used in main, afaics,
so it is difficult to see why this interface was added and how it is
used.

maybe just raise an ImportError if the module cannot be imported, with
the message append "please install python-numpy"?
