I guess we use the matlab data with is not required by mldata.
We could add code that tries to fetch the matlab, and if that doesn't 
work uses the hdf5,
with a soft dependency.
Not sure we want that as mldata seems somewhat defunc.
Maybe openml would be a better source (maybe once they finish their 
python interface?).

Cheers,
Andy
