[pymvpa] Please do not yet merge sg/master from alioth

[Scott Gorlin]

Oh fudge, that was my first time using git - i'm not surprised I broke 
something.

I thought that pushing something in my branch didn't affect the 
repository unless someone decided to merge it??  Should I be doing 
something else to update my branch without affecting master, or are you 
just concerned with the overall size of any files uploaded to alioth?

I was debating whether to put those files in data or in that folder - 
they are (tiny in comparison to normal plx files) sample data who's only 
purpose will be reading unittests, provided by plexon, and I figured 
they would not be of general interest so that's why I placed them in the 
io folder... but certainly they can be moved to data if you think that's 
appropriate.  They could be removed altogether if this is a real issue 
(or maybe one is smaller than the other - I haven't checked) though it 
would be nice to have one in just for testing purposes.

My bad...
