rcParams is just a dict, so you can modify it and have the changes
work w/o restarting pylab.  As long as the dict is being read in a
function (and not at the module import level) then you should have no
trouble changing rc on the fly as long as we get the cache keys right.

I think the changes I made to backend agg should work, but testing
will be the final arbiter.  Are you seeing problems with CVS chcked
out today?
