ENH: Optimize Cython code. Use scipy blas function pointers.
CLN: Refactored so that there is no longer a need for 2to3

The codebase has been refactored so that it can exist in a single, unified base.
The strategy closely followed six and pandas.compat, but does not involve any further
dependencies.

The compatability location has been renamed form compatnp, which housed compatnp.py3k, to
just compat, and the main py3k compatability files are in __init__.py so that they can
be directly accessed

Rolled back absolute imports in api.py
Refactored compatnp to compat and moved all py3k to __init__. compatnp
is not the correct name, and it makes more sense for compat to be the
location of any backward/forward compatability code using compat for
the majority of the py3k code and submodules np (or numpy) for numpy and scipy.
