[pygame] Pygame and Python 2.6



I thought while I had the chance I would try linking the Pygame dependencies against msvcr90.dll using MinGW. It failed. The msvcr90.dll that Python 2.6 uses is connected to a manifest. I don't know anything about them. And neither do the unix build tools ./configure and make. So when ./configure goes about creating its first little test program the program fails because Windows prevents msvcr90.dll from loading. No manifest file. And this is with XP yet. So I am stumped. I am putting this particular side excursion on indefinite hold. I just post this as a forewarning about what lies ahead.
