i hope this is a step forward to a self contained 'pygame library' as 
well? andrew straw has been feeding me a couple patches for the 
SDL_main.m (more this morning) to help get OSX running better. renaming 
the 'time' module shouldn't be a big problem anymore, since i can 
'rename' it on import in the __init__.py for pygame.

install instructions? or is it pretty much click and play?
