Sounds compelling to me.

I've put up a page on the Wiki:

http://wiki.cython.org/tutorials/NumpyPointerToC

and linked to it from:

http://wiki.cython.org/tutorials/numpy

I can't edit the main page, but maybe someone would like to put a link
there, too. Or maybe it's time to collect links to all the
numpy-specific pages in one place

Please to go in a take a look and improve it if you like -- particular
little C function -- I"m a pretty pathetic C coder -- it's not the
point of the tutorial, but it doesn't follow best practices, it might
be good to clean it up.
