[Matplotlib-devel] moving examples

[Jens Nielsen]

It's a shame that the main documentation does not redirect to the versioned
documentation. It would be nice it the only pages bookmarked would be
matplotlib.org/majorversion/examples/... that way we would get the best of
both worlds imho. If we can find a simple way of generating redirects as
Adrien suggests that sounds reasonable too. I think we should try hard to
find a way to move the pylab examples to a folders with a more meaningful
name as well as deleting a fair number of examples
