I hadn't seen it before - It appears to take the approach of
maintaining a single full-screen overlay which is created from a
pygame surface. I would guess that it would perform poorly if you
wanted a lot of moving/animating pygame surfaces drawn all over. Also,
it appears to take the approach of putting the overlay into a subset
of a power of 2 texture.

It sounds fun to write something like that up - should the goal be
something that is close to a drop in replacement for pygame.display
stuff? maybe with some additional interface for getting transformed
and colored blits or something?
