Ryan:  I'm off to Australia for a conference tomorrow, so if you could 
fix that I'd be grateful.  I wonder if we shouldn't wrap the old 
plt.gci._current = ret in a try/except, and use the new way if an 
Attribute Error is raised.  That way, it will still work with old 
versions of matplotlib.

Thanks for catching this.
