site docs

For the 0.91 release, I have updated the web site, which had become
woefully out of date. In addition to some 91 specific things like
"what's new", credits and updating a bunch of links to point to
pyplot, I also cleaned out some dead wood (removed numeric and
numarray references, cleaned up installing and backends to an extent).
I think a lot more needs to be done to get the site fully modernized
(eg installing could use a lot more work, goals needs to be
modernized), but if you see something egregious or otherwise in need
of attention, let me know, because on these kinds of things it is good
to strike when the iron is hot.

Also, it has been a long time since I updated the credits page, so
this too is very stale. If you are not mentioned there and would like
to be, or if I have left out some significant contributions that you
would like to see there, please drop me a blurb and I'll update it.

Not to be a glory hog, but I spent a fair bit of time on backend_ps and
backend_qt*. It seems like Eric's fingerprints can be found all over
matplotlib, but I dont have a suggestion for what to add to his nugget.

Great, thanks for he pointers -- in general I would like to give as
much credit as possible to everyone who has contributed, so any
omissions are merely oversight or laziness and not intentional
slights. I've made a few additions to cover your suggestions, and
feel free to make additions or updates as they occur to you for you or
anyone else.

Fernando wrote TConfig, which is so far the most difficult and elegant part of
the new config package (aside from Traits itself).

Sorry, one more: James Amundson did the initial work on porting the qt backend
to qt4.

John: A small thing - my name is mispelled on the credits page (should be one 't'). Also, if you get a chance it would be great if you could update the basemap docs to the latest svn (I'll release 0.9.8 soon).
