f2py now allows for the allocation of arrays of dimension 0. This allows for
more consistent handling of corner cases downstream.

``numpy.distutils`` supports using MSVC and mingw64-gfortran together
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Numpy distutils now supports using MSVC and Mingw64-gfortran compilers
together. This enables producing Python extension modules on Windows
containing Fortran code, while retaining compatibility with the
binaries distributed by Python.org. Not all use cases are supported,
but most common ways to wrap Fortran for Python are functional.

Compilation in this mode is usually enabled automatically, and can be
selected via the ``--fcompiler`` and ``--compiler`` options to
``setup.py``. Moreover, linking Fortran codes to static OpenBLAS is
supported; by default a gfortran-compatible static archive
``openblas.a`` is looked for.
