Significant numerix namespace changes, introduced to resolve
namespace clashes between python built-ins and mlab names.
Refactored numerix to maintain separate modules, rather than
folding all these names into a single namespace. See the following
mailing list threads for more information and background

OLD usage
from matplotlib.numerix import array, mean, fft
NEW usage
from matplotlib.numerix import array
from matplotlib.numerix.mlab import mean
from matplotlib.numerix.fft import fft
numerix dir structure mirrors numarray (though it is an incomplete
implementation)
numerix
numerix/mlab
numerix/linear_algebra
numerix/fft
numerix/random_array
but of course you can use 'numerix : Numeric' and still get the
symbols.
pylab still imports most of the symbols from Numerix, MLab, fft,
etc, but is more cautious. For names that clash with python names
(min, max, sum), pylab keeps the builtins and provides the numeric
versions with an a* prefix, e.g., (amin, amax, asum)
