Where are you getting matplotlib 1.1 for Mac OSX 10.7 from to build it?

>From where?  I didn't see it.  I am talking about having a binary
installer on the Matplotlib downloads page,,. the last one I see there
is this, which is for OSX-10.6:

matplotlib-1.1.0-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg        2012-02-15

which is from about two month ago.
