Initial integration of abstract rendering

Abstract rendering framework integration working for count-based analysis.  Includes slots for aggregator, info, chains of shaders and a few basic shaders. 

Notes: 
* Requires separate installation of abstract rendering, but it prints an error if the import fails, including instructions for how to download/install from the main AR repo
* Axis ticks are wrong...just plain wrong.  Don't trust them when using AR.
* Merged in master at 2:46am on 13Jun2013.

Did you want to just re-raise the exception here? Then just `raise`.
