Hi everybody,

I think I have to apologize, especially to Eric and John, for the 
confusion that I caused by the commits yesterday. The whole thing 
started as a bit of cleaning up and then I got carried away.

I think there were two points that caused confusion. One is that the new 
revisions would have required anybody to dump build and installation 
directories, so a warning on the mailing list would certainly have been 
appropriate.

The other point was that I did not consider those people who explicitely 
use numerix in their own code. I always thought of numerix as an 
internal compatibility layer of matplotlib not a wrapper that should be 
used outside. Guess, I was wrong there.

I will sort through the reverted code. I believe, it would be best to 
revert only the first of my two commits, leaving the numerix directory 
in its original state, but leave the second commit in place (that one 
cuts nearly all internal dependencies on numerix, except those in 
pylab.py, mlab.py and those on ma/npyma which still have to be sorted out.

I did not do a full numpification (changing to "from numpy import ..." 
to "import numpy as npy") but only those steps necessary to cut the 
dependency.

So, once again: Sorry for the confusion.

Greetings,
Norbert
