I removed these from the trunk since they are already in the maintenance branch.

On the subject of examples, one thing I'd like to do is organize them a bit

  - "pylab" - all the current examples that do "from pylab import *"
with a README indicating that while this idiom is fine for interactive
use, for scripts or anything worth keepking, we recommend pyplot

  - "pyplot" - as we get time, rewrite the examples from pylab using
the pyplot and numpy namespaces, and emphasizing the API, eg

      import numpy as np
      import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\
      fig = plt.figure()
      ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
      ax.plot(np.random.rand(10))
      ax.set_title('a simple plot')
      plt.show()

  - "applications" or "user_interfaces" or something like that.  All
the UI examples

  - animations -  example code doing dynamic/animated plotting.  this
overlaps a bit wtih user interfaces since the recommended way    to do
animations is with the GUI event loop

  - event handling -  interacting with the plot, mouse and key events, picking

  - widgets - the mpl widget examples

Does anyone object to me doing this, or would like to see it done otherwise?
