Thanks!  It took a long while to get everything working.

I've fixed many things so the tests work (so make sure your checkout is 
up-to-date); just run nosetests (don't specify -s).  The tests work on 
the Mac and under Linux.  The test_streamline one may fail with an image 
error but I'll work around that later.  However, with nose-0.10.3 things 
ought to work.  Please send me errors you get.  I won't get to them 
before the weekend though.

This is very wierd.  I get an error that looks like a reload of a module 
happened which causes wierd errors.

ERROR: Can tvtk datasets can be converted to names correctly.

TypeError: unbound method __init__() must be called with TVTKBase 
instance as first argument (got ImageData instance instead)

Which is a classic case of a reload on tvtk_base.  I think your approach 
of running separate processes for each in test_all.py is fine.

I'm happy if things work with 0.10.3 and am not going to spend time 
getting it working with 0.9.3. :)
