Well, as "import pytables" fails until numexpr is installed, I think
that should be a rather large warning in big red blinking capital
letters "you cannot use pytables until you install/upgrade numexpr!"
;). Actually, I still think it should be an error by default, but that
the user can override it ("yes, I do want to install it even if I have
missing dependencies, and I will install those larger").
Just my ¥0.02.
