Backport recent changes in trunk to the mathtex branch.

Enable caching for mathtex expressions. This delivers a big performance boost when panning/zooming.

Update the mathtex branch so that it includes the latest fixes from trunk.

Update the mathtex branch so that it is up-to-date with trunk.

Add support for mathtext.default to the OS X backend. This still requires testing from a Mac user.

Fix an error importing afm.py.

Add support for rcParams['mathtext.default'], currently broken due to a suspected bug in mathtex.

Make mathtex an optional dependency. Warn when trying to render math when it is not available.

Try deleting the mathtex folder to get svn:externals working.
