release 0.9 and test problems

[josef...@gmail.com]

The release is ready to be tagged.

But for the last few hours I have been fighting with updating my developement environment from my current py 3.4 + MingW so I can test the release candidate.

However, so far I was unsuccessful between compiler incompatibilities across MS compiler versions and segfault in the test run.

Here is the sdist of current master, if someone can try it out.

It includes the cython generated C-files and it's what we add on pypi.

The github source archives require cython for building.

To add:

I would like this to be a short rc with the final release within two weeks. 

I merged many bug-fixes in the recent months and expect that we only need to make changes to the rc1 if some unexpected problems show up.

woohoo -- thanks for pushing it forward Josef!

hopefully tomorrow I will also run a set of my builds on debian
platforms to see if nothing pops out

Thanks,

so far it doesn't look good

my sdist has .pxd files that shouldn't be included

appveyor 3.4 binary is missing some pxd files and it looks like binaries are scipy version dependent

(It's easier to fix bugs in VAR/VECM than to figure out how distribution of packages is supposed to work)

I'll hopefully have time to check next week, after the pandas release candidate is out.
