hanged the order of arguments for unit.ConverterInterface class.

added another image clippath demo; forgot there was already one in pylab_examples

Rework the nan-handling/clipping/quantizing/simplification
framework so each is an independent part of a pipeline.
Expose the C++-implementation of all of this so it can be
used from all Python backends. Add rcParam
"path.simplify_threshold" to control the threshold of
similarity below which vertices will be removed.

make default mode 'r' for gzipped files, since 'rU' apparently is not
supported in the gzip module (at least in python 2.5.2)

changed the default file handle to open in universal mode
