Great work Matthew! Thanks for getting the idea integrated 
scikit-image's framework, I was busy this weekend finishing a poster for 
SciPy.  One though I had was to use Travis CI's PyPI deploy [1] to 
upload the wheels directly to pypi.  I tested this out a bit last night 
and the PyPI deploy seems to expect a certain layout of the package, 
Python install, etc which just leads to trouble.  Having the files on 
Rackspace and having to manually push them to pypi for each release 
seems reasonable.

Next up, is to use AppVeyor [2] to build wheel files for Windows.  I has 
able to get a wheel for Python 3.3 built [3] but Python 2.7 looked more 
difficult.

Cheers,
