Mostly lack of familiarity with the distutils - I'm used to just hitting 
F7, and away I go.  Didn't think distutils were really solid on Win32.

Another reason I should try switching how I do my builds - just not 
familiar with distutils - I tried it once in the very early days, and it 
was pretty hosed.  Never gone back for a second dip.

Profiling line drawing code now - will probably have a pygame.draw patch 
for you in a day or 2.
