I don't think it's necessary. It would generally be good if we could
avoid try/except in demos as it obfuscates the code.

It's also needed for C++ plotting which has changed and now relies
directly on Viper.

For those who haven't noticed, Viper can now plot all kinds of data
(Function(PlotData), Mesh, MeshFunction) directly from the command-line:

  viper mesh.xml

Yes.

So the list is

  DOLFIN 0.9.2
  FFC 0.6.2
  Viper 0.4.2 ?
  UFL 0.1.0 ?
  SyFi/SFC ?

The buildbot is not responding at the moment so I can't check the
status.
