Thanks to Christoph Gohlke for making windows installers.

Highlights:
    - new 'latlon' keyword for contour,contourf,pcolor,pcolormesh,quiver,barb methods that automatically converts x, y from longitude/latitude to map projection coordinates, and for global projections shifts the data longitudinally to fit in map projection region (see shiftdata.py example).
    - fixed a serious bug that caused a bogus mask to be applied to the data when the contour method was called (did not affect contourf).

full Changelog:

version 1.0.5 (git tag v1.0.5rel)
--------------------------------
* fix bug triggered when drawlsmask method called more than once.
* fix error in contour method that caused a bogus mask to be applied
   to the data (issue 58).
* fix further corner cases with splitting of parallels that cross
   the dateline (issue 40).
* add latlon keyword to plotting methods.  If latlon=True, x and y
   values are assumed to longitudes and latitudes in degrees.  The
   data and longitudes are shifted to the map projection region (for
   cylindrical and pseudo-cylindrical projections) using the shiftdata
   method, and lons/lats are converted to map projection coords. Default
   value is False. Addresses issue 54.  New example shiftdata.py added
   to illustrate usage.
* fix bluemarble and warpimage methods to account for change in orientation
   of arrays returned to matplotlib's pil_to_array (issue 51)
* fix glitch with drawing meridians and filling coastline polygons with
   omerc projection that includes pole.
