What kind of problems are there? is it like crashing? bad (incorrect)
behavior? deprecated numeric functionality that needs a new way to do
things with numpy? or is it that existing python code written to use
the numeric interface of pygame would need to be changed to work with
numpy?

When you say it compiles, do you mean with the numeric compatibility
interface stuff (numpy/oldnumeric.h) or do you mean when stuff is
changed to use numpy without that file? also, is there any prior work
for porting to use numpy that would be good for somebody to build off
of? (i.e. like a pygame branch or patch, or maybe unit tests that show
how things fail when compiled with numpy?)
