Ah, thanks for the reminder; that looks much more comprehensive! 
Actually the fink testing command requires an exit value of 1 or higher to 
detect errors, so I am using something like 
 "… r=m.test(verbosity=1); sys.exit(len(r.errors+r.failures))"

Indeed, I seemed to remember the regular output was not that much larger, 
but I must have missed all the hires.png and pdf images in the mpl_examples. 
They do account for additional 60-70 MB...
I was also curious if you had considered moving the docs to a separate package. 
I will propose one for fink; since there probably more people are building 
their 
packages themselves, the savings in build time might already justify that.

Cheers,
                                        Derek
