Ah, yes, I understand. And I've now re-read your previous post and now
understand your point there about clustermodule.c too. So I've changed all
(flags & CONTIGUOUS) instances to use PyArray_ISCONTIGUOUS() in my patch and
updated it at

http://edschofield.com/biopython-numpy-support.patch

And you're right ... with these changes, including oldnumeric.h is no longer
necessary anywhere.
