This PR uses Requires.jl to load DataFrames.jl only when actually needed. It reduces the output of
@time using PGFPlots
from 19s to 16s, on my machine. The script which makes the following time measurements is given in issue #130.Lazy-loading DataFrames.jl also makes perfect sense from a design perspective because the dependency is only needed to implement wrappers around the actual functions. Users only need these wrappers if they have loaded DataFrames, already.
