well, that's what I figured -- and I started down that path a while back
and got no support whatsoever (OK, some from Matthew Brett -- thanks!). But
I know myself well enough to know I wasn't going to get the critical mass
required to make it useful by myself, so I've moved on to an ecosystem that
is doing most of the work already.

Also, you have the problem that there is one PyPi -- so where do you put
your nifty wheels that depend on other binary wheels? you may need to fork
every package you want to build :-(

But sure, let's get the core scipy stack pip-installable as much as
possible -- and maybe some folks with more energy than me can move this all
forward.

Sorry to be a downer -- keep up the good work and energy!
