[pymvpa] Make own classifier, binary to multiclass

[Thorsten Kranz]

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I'm a little bit busy atm and don't think I
will finish this before christmas. First, I'll start to work with
0.4.5 as I use it in my scripts. But I think it won't be too hard to
migrate it once it's working.

I will look at gnb.py.

Greetings,

Thorsten
