The way mpl uses the basemap toolkit will not work using
setuptools. This is also an issue that twisted runs into. Since
matplotlib will be put in one egg folder and basemap will be stuck in
another, trying to import matplotlib.toolkits.basemap will yield an
error. Just something to think about for down the road, but its
probably not a priority now.
