Fixed the numpy test cases (they were getting annoying with python 2.6 on
Windows where numpy isn't yet available).  The reportlab tests already fail
gracefully.

I ended up going down this route:

> (b) Modify all the tests using these semi-optional libraries to catch
> the ImportError and raise MissingExternalDependencyError instead.  As
> the tests themselves generally don't directly import the external
> library this is perhaps messy.

Marking this bug as fixed.
