I am ready to upload installers without the baseline images. How about a 
separate installer for matplotlib.tests?

# setup_tests.py
from distutils.core import setup

for line in open('lib/matplotlib/__init__.py').readlines():
     if (line.startswith('__version__')):
         exec(line.strip())

setup(name="matplotlib-tests",
       version=__version__,
       description="Tests for matplotlib",
       author="John D. Hunter",
       author_email="jd...@gm...",
       url="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net",
       packages = ['matplotlib.tests'],
       package_dir = {'': 'lib'},
       package_data = {'matplotlib.tests':['baseline_images/*/*']},
       platforms='any'
       )
