If this becomes required it means gcc46-fortran is pulled in. I wouldn't
mind a default on option, but I think adding gcc46/fortran to an already
complex tool chain should not be done if it can be avoided.
Maybe the option description can be changed to:
"Enable array support through numPY"

This makes it easier for people to decide whether they need it.
