Re: [matplotlib-devel] Updating MPlot3D to a more recent matplotlib.

Sure, I thought it was going to the list too ;)  So no problem.

I am not sure what you can do with that module.  It seems a shame to
waste.  Perhaps it should be split out into a seperate 3d only
plotting library that cares less about being matplotlib'ish than
something packaged with MPL would.  What do you think?
