wow david, this is great. i was trying to think of a good
way to detect the extra SDL libraries in python. since rpm's
are available for these, it makes sense to try to check for
these. 

also, about the Numeric dependency. the "setup.py" script
has gotten a little smarter since recent releases and can
already detect if Numeric is installed or not. users can
always leave surfarray uncommented, and the setup will take
it out of the list at runtime if not available.

(your clever numpy solution was the same one i came up with)

i'll be looking deeper into this rpm config real soon.


(in the meantime, i found an ugly bug in display.mode_ok()
so i imagine the 0.5 release will be not too far away)
