Research direction

Start by reviewing .travis.yml to understand the current install and test commands. Define shell-script responsibilities and the behavior of the default and --full test levels, including the optional hdf5 and matplotlib dependencies; the work is done when Travis and local testing use the new scripts.

Description

testing

Managing tests in the .travis.yml is becoming a pain. Instead I think we should manage our installs and test running with shell scripts.

This would also be a good opportunity to set up some leveled testing with a --full option that uses hdf5 and matplotlib, since these can be annoying and unnecessary to test locally.
