In the mean time version 1.9.1 was released.  With this release I
noticed that the pdf documentation gets updated and therefore the hash
changes and breaks the package.  For this reason I think that, as you
suggested before, we should build the documentation locally.  As
mentioned before, this requires matplotlib and matplotlib requires
numpy.  So I will make a numpy package without documentation and use
it as input to matplotlib as you suggested.  I'm thinking of calling
this 'numpy-bootstrap' and of not exporting it (use 'define' instead
of 'define-public').  I now got matplotlib building and able to
generate its own documentation, but would like to add the pygtk
backend before supplying a patch for review.
