bittools extension fails to compile on Fedora 18 (python 2.7.3, gcc 4.7.2, numpy 1.7.0)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I checked out rev. 89 from svn and attempted to build from source in the usual 
way (python setup.py build / sudo python setup.py install), but the build 
choked on the bittools extension. A log is attached. It looks as though the 
problem may be numpy-1.7.0-related. (I just watched someone successfully 
install on an Ubuntu 12.04 system with numpy 1.6.2, same gcc and python.)

it defines #define NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API which is wrong
it should be:
#define NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API NPY_1_7_API_VERSION

though it requires 1.6 API, specifically PyArray_CORDER instead of NPY_CORDER, 
so this can't be done.
quickfix is probably to just allow deprecated api by removing the broken define.

Just for the record book, I am having this same problem. I'm using a Mac OSX 
10.7 with fink (python 2.7.4, numpy 1.7.1, libtiff 4.0.3, pylibtiff rev89). I 
will likely have to downgrade to an older numpy. A coworker had the same 
problem and here are the specific lines you need to change to get this patched. 
Is this a problem in the way pylibtiff is using numpy?

I have tried to address this issue in the latest revision (r92). 
As far as I can tell, NPY_CORDER is supported as far back as numpy 1.0. I doubt 
anyone is still using an older version than this but just in case I've added a 
check so it shouldn't break for < v1.0 (at least not for this reason).
It would be great if anyone experiencing this issue can verify that it is fixed 
in this revision.

OK, so my first effort at a fix didn't work on v1.3. Second effort (r93) should 
work better.
