[PythonCE] pygame / distutils

[Alexandre Delattre]

Hi,

I've been able to make pygame-ctypes works with SDL.dll and 
SDL_Image.dll built from "unofficial" wince project files of SDL, with 
very minimal changes.

I'm keen to package this and make it public, but you must note this is 
very experimental and  is a bit slow. The constraints explained by 
Christopher, especially regarding current directory support, applies 
here too.

I did not manage to compile the C version with evc++4 but I'd like to 
give a try later with cegcc, unfortunately I do not have the time for 
this yet.

Also, before rushing in compilation, it may be interesting to benchmark 
pygame and pygame-ctypes on desktop to evaluate if there would be a 
really speed gain in using a compiled version.

As pygame is mostly a wrapper around SDL, I found it hard to evaluate 
the overhead caused by using ctypes instead of c code. A benchmark would 
help us to see clearer.

Regards,
Alexandre
