[Yt-dev] DualEPS extension

[Matthew Turk]

Hi John,

Thanks for this!  I can certainly say I will be using it.  Do you
think this would go well in the docs under the extensions?  I'd like
to put it out with yt-1.7.  I can make a good start from what you've
sent and your examples, then maybe hand it off to you for cleaning up?

I always hate making very high resolution figures for publication *just* to have the text sharp.  This extension can make either a single panel or multi-panel panel with one call.  Here are some examples, notice that their file sizes are similar to their JPEG file sizes.
