Add a little command-line tool for running tests, plus tox support

Tox is a handy little tool to make it easier than not to run proper
tests that exercise the build system and are run against multiple
Python versions: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox
See comment at the top of tox.ini for hints.

+# A simple script to test the installed version of numpy by calling
+# 'numpy.test()'. Key features:
+#   -- convenient command-line syntax
+#   -- sets exit status appropriately, useful for automated test environments
+
+# It would be better to set this up as a module in the numpy namespace, so
+# that it could be run as:
+#   python -m numpy.run_tests <args>
+# But, python2.4's -m switch only works with top-level modules, not modules
+# that are inside packages. So, once we drop 2.4 support, maybe...
+
+import sys
+# In case we are run from the source directory, we don't want to import numpy
+# from there, we want to import the installed version:
+sys.path.pop(0)
