As of revision 11247 I have propagated the pllegend API to python just
to prove that I could do so.  Because my python swig skills are rusty
it was a bit of a struggle dealing with the char ** text array because
we had not dealt with that type before with swig.  Those who
eventually propagate pllegend to Java and Lua (and probably other
languages) should be aware that this type is going to cause you some
extra work.

As a result of my propagation work, I now get consistent results for
python and C for both examples 4 and 26.  Others may also want to
propagate pllegend to their favorite languages at this time.  However,
you should be aware that once Hez and Andrew have propagated pllegend
to OCaml and Octave and compared its capabilities with the older
legend capabilities for those languages, we might get some suggested
changes in the pllegend API out of those comparisons.  If those
changes actually occur I am willing to modify my python propagation
accordingly, but others may want to wait to propagate pllegend until
we get feedback from Hez and Andrew on their experiences with pllegend
for OCaml and Octave.

We also need a volunteer to create an initial version of plcolorbar
functionality in our core C library to complement the current discrete
pllegend functionality. Hez, would you also be willing/able to take a
shot at this?
