[matplotlib-devel] Choosing a num* library

It seems to me that most of the machinery about selecting which 
numerical package to import can be removed, correct?  This is mainly in 
numerix/__init__.py.  The rcParam can be kept around, but maybe we 
should warn if it's not set to numpy since it ain't gonna do what you 
asked...

It's not just "dead code" -- Leaving it in means that mpl will attempt 
to import numarray in the event that a stale .matplotlibrc file asks for 
it... It was the source of a real head-scratcher in a recent internal 
support request I got.

Thought I'd check on the list before I started, because I know the 
"numpification" process has some complexities I'm not too familiar with.

Cheers,
Mike
