Attached patch updates to 1.13.1.  I had to add bash-minimal as a 
native input because the numpy people made their build system a 
little more convoluted ;-) (external commands such as gcc are run 
within a shell with $SHELL -c 'gcc [...]', I didn't look up the 
motivation for that).

If there are no objections, I'll push this soon.

ps I couldn't check if matplotlib still builds with this numpy 
version, because our bluez package (on which matplotlib apparently 
depends) appears to be broken.  But that's another story.
