Many thanks!  I'll let Brian and Min work with you on the pyzmq
improvements, but it's really, really great to see our infrastructure
get beat into shape quickly for py3.

I should add that at this point, since we're working in trunk, feel
free to start making pull requests for the pre-py3-cleanup branch back
into trunk whenever works well for your schedule.  All that can go
into trunk now, and that way we'll minimize the delta from trunk into
the 'real'y py3 branches as much as possible.

Thanks again for your good work!
