The problem of building on OSX, in particular the setupext basedir
search path including /sw, /usr and /usr/local, appears so fraught
with peril --  we don't know what kinds of libs built with what kinds
of flags that we will find -- that I removed all the dirs from the
basedir for darwin.  Instead, I am hoping that the new makefile.osx
Makefile I have added, which will fetch and build the required libs
and install them into the PREFIX of your choice, will prove more
supportable.

I have tested this on a couple of platforms and it worked well, but
there are other combinations that I do not have access to so please
let me know if this is not viable.  I am currently building with

  PREFIX=/Users/jdhunter/dev make -f makefile.osx fetch deps mpl_install

Builds with enthought python make still be broken due to the issues in the FAQ:

Please kick the tires and give some feedback
