:) - no good at all!

Incidentally, the wheels at http://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/manylinux/ do
not have the tk backend, and so, do not (are not known to) segfault.

No, at least not with the `pip install` step.  The wheel install
mechanism doesn't have post-install hooks.

Is there an easy way to only do the tkagg build install, if we worked
out a way to trigger that?

Cheers,
