just so everyone knows, SDL's event queue is very
thread safe, so no extra work is needed to post events
in a threadsafe manner.

btw doug, jans problem with the USEREVENTS was that
blocking MOUSEMOTION events from the event queue was
also blocking the USEREVENTS from the queue. a strange
problem, and not recreatable in a "simple" test. i
rechecked the pygame code for blocked events several
times, i don't think pygame is the problem. (??)

anyways, i wouldn't fear using USEREVENTS :]
