Comment(by jhpalmieri):
Okay, I've fixed some more of these. I think that only the files in
src/lib/matplotlib get installed, so I haven't bothered with the other
ones. I also ignored the function "mkdirs" in cbook.py. This is only
used in sphinxext/plot_directive.py, so I don't think it should affect us.
Also, the function could perhaps just be replaced with a call to
[http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.makedirs os.makedirs], which is
already recursive and allows you to set the mode. Maybe the matplotlib
people are worried about the presence of ".." in the pathname? Anyway, I
don't have a good way to test any changes to that part of the code, so I'm
going to leave it alone.
