I found a thread from last June where Skipper ran into the same problem:

   http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2010-June/014647.html

I also realized that the 'numpydoc' package includes the plot_directive
extension.  I just had to change doc/source/conf.py to refer to the
extensions as 'numpydoc.numpydoc' and 'numpydoc.plot_directive', and the
docs built--with only 4531 warnings!
