mpl also depends on CXX for extension code.  I was heartened to see
that the python 3 migration is well underway in CXX svn.  Since this
is most of our extension code, hopefully it will insulate from serious
difficulties porting the extension code.  But we will have to wait for
CXX and numpy before we can do serious work.
