possible missing dependency for python-numpy and proposed fix

[Chris LeBlanc]

Hi,

I recently installed a new version of Cygwin on a new Windows 7
machine.  I installed a several packages including numpy.  The
installation worked without any errors.  I did this for both 32 and 64
bit versions of Cygwin.

After installing numpy I tried importing it in a Python shell.  It
raised an ImportError exception when trying to import lapack_lite.
Lapack_lite.dll existed in the correct location, but running "cygcheck
-c" (as per http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00361.html) on it
revealed that it needed libquadmath0 which had not been installed.
Numpy worked fine once I installed the missing libquadmath0
dependency.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Should this dependency be added
to the numpy setup.hint?

Cheers,
Chris LeBlanc
