Summary: PyOpenGL-accelerate and numpy 1.4 numpy_formathandler error

Initial Comment:
importing OpenGL.GL gives the error: "ValueError: numpy.dtype does not appear to be the correct type object". 

To reproduce this bug, install python 2.6 (my minor version 4, ie: 2.6.4), PyOpenGL 3.0.1b2-py26-win32 and PyOpenGL-accelerate-3.0.1b2-py26-win32 and numpy 1.4. In the interpreter type: 

import OpenGL
from OpenGL import GL

This gives the output:

Message:
This only occurs if you easy_install PyOpenGL-accelerate as it downloads
the pre-built version win32 version. I downloaded the source and installed
from source and it works.
