13 - keep an eye on PEP 324 (popen 5): it could make the texrunner much easier
14 - messageparser for replaced fontsizes: Warning
15 - messageparser for size differences at the end: Warning not Exception
16 - messageparser for overfull/underfull vbox/hbox: Warning not Exception
17 - newline removal when not disturbing texmessages only

23 (When plotted, the graph does not complain, but the postscript will be broken)
24 - canvas module:
25 - multi page PostScript output
26 - contructor should only take a texrunner keyword argument
27 - set method???
28 - PDF support

46 - perform calc by means of Python itself (see eval code in graph.data, but
47 we should use compiled code instead of eval)
49 TODO for 0.6:
50 - deco module:
51 - the name wriggle has to replaced by something better (e.g. wriggled?)
52 - Documentation:
53 - graph module:

72 - added inplace add (__iadd__), enlarge and transform methods
73 - callers use inplace add where possible now (yielding a considerable
74 speedup)
75 - "undefined" corners of bounding boxes are no longer supported which makes
76 the bounding box operations much more efficient.
77 - graph module:
78 - reorganisation of the graph structure finished (there might be some
79 small pending issues, but the basic restructuring is done with this release):
80 - graph splitted into several modules in pyx/graph and pyx/graph/axis

88 - symbols + lines -> symbollines; symbols do not allow setting lineattrs,
89 and lines not symbolattrs
90 - manual line clipping (do not include unneeded line segments when the
91 axis range is set manually etc.)
92 - automatic file key titles
93 - graph.data now also includes the old data module
94 - data.list adds (by default) a line number like data.file
95 - text module:

109 - added path.arclength_pt, path.at_pt, path.begin_pt, path.end_pt (and
110 correspondingly for normpath)
111 - complete refactoring of the normpath class: normpaths now consist of
112 normsubpaths which themselves consist of normlines and normcurves This is
113 much more convenient for any routines working with normpaths.
114 - reversing of closed sub paths does not change the first point of the sub
115 path
116 - renamed: arclength -> arclen
117 - renamed: lentopar -> arclentoparam
118 - path and normpath method raise exception instead of returning None
119 when parameter is out of range
