Title: Change basemap docs to use the plot directive.

I have changed the documentation building to use the plot directive & avoid the need for a ```make.py``` to build the figures in advance. My motivation for this was to be able to build the documentation without the need of ipython (which I do not have installed).

I am concerned about the change to lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/shapefile.py. I was unable to revert the seemingly automatic change using ```git checkout -- lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/shapefile.py``` and would like to be reassured that I have not done anything wrong before any merge should go through.

Many Thanks,
