The top level interface for reading a BUFR message is in place now.
Still the code only works properly when you use the BUFR tables
provided by the ECMWF BUFR library.
Compilation with python3 seems to have some difficulties.
The dependency on numpy is no problem anymore, since that one is now
fully ported to python3, but the f2py tool that comes with numpy
seems broken somehow, and crashes during the build process.
The problem has been reported to the numpy developers (see
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1932), so for the moment
I'll wait for a bugfix from the numpy team before continuing
the python3 porting effort.
