Indeed, there are some oddities, but mostly with regards to Qt and forcing
it to build and link against (presumedly) the conda package of it. There is
a modification of the setupext.py that happens at build time to replace all
instances of "/usr/local" with "$PREFIX". Perhaps what is happening is that
my local builds of matplotlib is compiling and linking against my system
install of the tk/tcl headers and libraries, and that might be conflicting
with the conda-shipped tk/tcl packages?
I'll have to experiment a bit more tonight. Thanks for the suggestion!
