I have been updating the logic in our setup.py and setupext.py files, so all 
of the build options are now exposed in setup.cfg. This should make it easier 
for anyone wishing to distribute matplotlib, like package managers. See 
setup.cfg.template for the details.

There are a few changes. The external packages kept in lib/ now report "-mpl" 
in their versions. Past version provided by matplotlib will be identified and 
updated on future installs. It is also possible to disable the installation 
of these external packages, details are listed in setup.cfg.template.

Finally, building of extension modules like gtkagg and gdk can be enabled, 
disabled, or attempted regardless of missing dependencies, in which case the 
build will fail with a meaningful error message.

Please upgrade your svn repository and report any problems, so they dont show 
up after cutting the next release.

Thanks,
Darren
