I think the point René is trying to make is that pygame-ctypes will *never*
replace what we currently know as pygame, even if it matches and/or exceeds
functionality, performance and range of supported platforms.
So, to keep things moving along I guess what we need is a new name for
pygame-ctypes. We can either:
1. avoid all reference to "pygame" -- "pysdl", "buffy", some random Monty
Python reference, etc
2. stick with referring to "pygame" -- "pygame-ctypes" is long, and isn't
importable, so how about "pygame2", "pygametng", "pygameb5" (b5 was
a better series ;), "pygamect" or something?
