I'm not aware of anyone trying this, but I suspect it's related to 
differences in how DLL paths are searched on Windows vs. shared objects 
on Linux.

This sort of seems like a lower-level Python issue -- I wonder if you 
could find other projects that do this and see where matplotlib 
differs.  For instance, can you import numpy this way?  If not, I would 
bring this up on the Python users list and see if they have any advice.
