Yeah, the projection approach is what I'm planning on using. Unfortunately, I can't use any of that immediately because Gentoo is stuck on Matplotlib 0.91.2 and Numpy 1.0.4. Once, Numpy 1.1 is in the tree, I can move to the latest matplotlib (even SVN), and then move over too it. In the meanwhile, I've at least looked over that code, and it looks promising. Half the problem has been figuring out the bizarre nature of the Skew-T LogP.
