matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi All:
I've had a lot of requests lately for a basemap binary installer for 
windows. Unfortunately, I don't have access to Windows at home or at 
work (it's an all mac/linux shop here). I'd really appreciate it if 
someone who uses windows and can compile matplotlib from source could 
help me out. Just check out basemap from svn, run 'python setupegg.py 
bdist_egg', and tell me where to pick up the resulting binary egg. Thanks!
-Jeff

I'm using the latest svn.
