When building the docs on my Mac, I get an error:

> Error in : Could not open PDG particle file ${ROOTSYS}/etc/pdg_table.txt

I have root via the "fixed location" method in `/usr/local/`, so there is no need for a `ROOTSYS` variable, and indeed I believe that the `pdg_table.txt` file is not even installed on my system by this method. I would propose that we store the file within `rootpy` itself, but I don't know offhand how to access such a file other than through an import statement.
