How broad coverage do we want?

Yes, it's a big testing matrix, but I think we can treat it as sparser
than it really is.
For example, I don't think it matters too much if we test with/without
third party X with every version number of Python... Time will tell
exactly what needs to be tested based on bug reports of side cases we
*didn't* catch.
Also, would it make sense to move your mpl_on_travis_mac project to the
matplotlib organization (and then add you as a developer over there?)

The testing matrix blows up pretty quickly. For those of you with
longer memories, where are the corners where things tend to break?

A few hints:
If you just want to build matplotlib for your own computer (and don't
care about making an installer that will work on anybody else's) then
you can install from source with very little trouble:
- You may want to edit setupext.py to limit searching to those
dirs that
really matter, but this is only needed if you have installed
extras that
might conflict.
- You may want to edit setup.cfg to select a better default back end.
You have to be much more careful if you want to build a binary
installer
that can be used by others. I've found that bdist_mpkg works, and I've
found it is safest to build on the oldest platform I want the
installer
to support (for example /usr/X11/lib moved in 10.8 or 10.7 in a
way that
is forward but not backwards compatible).
For Apple's python you need install anything; all you need is in
/usr/lib and /usr/X11/lib. I have no idea if TkAgg works well.
For python.org <http://python.org> python you should install a
version of Tcl/Tk. I suggest
ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.11. Be warned that versions 8.5.12, 8.5.12.1,
8.5.13 all have known crashing problems; I have not tried 8.5.14
(which
came out fairly recently) as 8.5.11 seems to do well enough.
I've cannot comment on building matplotlib for macports, fink or
homebrew.
