[yt-dev] Forthon issues

Ah, yes, I forgot to answer that. You're correct, Matt, those are the
places that the Fortran tree is used. In all honesty, the
scipy.spatial kDTree is good enough (in terms of speed) for all but
the halo finding, so that can someday be swapped out for the Fortran
one. Maybe I'll issue myself a ticket...
