[matplotlib-devel] Transforms branch

As some of you probably know, I've been working on a fairly major
refactoring of matplotlib.  It's now getting to the point where I think
more people may want to check it out and kick the tires.  It is
definitely not ready for real work -- I guarantee the first thing you
try will break ;)

However, it is passing the vast majority of examples in examples/ (with
some major exceptions).  The only working backends are Agg and all
Agg-based GUIs, PS, PDF and SVG.  Any 3D plotting has not even been
attempted, and I'm certain is broken.  There's a very good chance that
external tools like basemap will not work at all.  If you care about any
of these missing things, you may not want to try the branch yet, or
better yet, you may want to check out the branch and get those things
working ;)  Or, please let me know if the changes make any of those
things much harder to do, so the design can be refined while we still
have the chance ;)

There are more details about the changes in CHANGELOG and API_CHANGES.
PASSED_DEMOS contains my own notes about what is currently working.
