The versions of pytz and dateutil that are included with matplotlib 
0.98.3 are outdated.

dateutil 1.2 is included, but 1.4.1 is available
pytz: 2008c (from pypi)

I am against including them at all (especially if they are installed 
even if the user already has the packages available). They are both 
trivial to install from source.

In the case of pytz one can also use easy_install (and presumably this 
can happen automatically via dependency handling). Unfortunately that is 
not a good idea for dateutil; I just tried it and got version 1.1. Yow.
