### Doing a release 

0) Turn off all the build flags

0) Testing: remove font cache and test w/ and w/o font cache on some
   example script

0) Testing: Run examples/backend_driver.py w/o errors; run the backend specific
   demos (object_picker, anim , embedding*).  Do an explicity numarray
   and python2.2 test.

0) Remove MANIFEST so it will be rebuilt by MANIFEST.in

1) Comment out all the savefig commands in the examples dir
  > rfr -f savefig -r '#savefig' *.py
  > rfr -f '##savefig' -r '#savefig' *.py

2) edit __init__.py, setup.py license.html.template to the correct version number

   local> ssh -l jdh2358 shell.sf.net
   sf> cd /home/groups/m/ma/matplotlib/htdocs
   sf> tar xvfz site.tar.gz

  > make release

  > build on win32 (set the backend to tkagg, set the 'auto' flags in
    setup.py to 1, set tk windowing)

  > cvs tag the sucker

4) anon ftp the tar.gz and exe file to SF
  local> cd dist
  local> ncftp upload.sourceforge.net
  ncftp> cd incoming
  ncftp> put tar.gz, zip exe

5) go to https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/?group_id=80706 and do a
#  file release

Standard reminders for numarray build

 - change numerix in matplotlibrc *and* setup.py

 - email users monitoring the package and me when you are done and
   I'll send the announcement

Trove categorization is under Public info on the admin page
