Talking about that, last time I looked, the plot directive, and the other
MPL sphinx extension were not in the matplotlib namespace, and thus not
importable by other programs. This is a pity, because they can be useful
for other projects (I wrote for instance some lecture notes using sphinx
to doctest them, and I wanted to use the plot directive).

It seems it would be very easy to put them in a matplotlib submodule, and
have the sphinx conf.py import from there. Nothing urgent, but if there
is no reason no to, I would make me a happy man.

Cheers,
