Hello,

it seems there's some sort of giant build cluster for Raspberry Pi that builds binary wheels. Automatically!

Now it's compiling pygame nicely. So `pip install pygame` works with the current release on raspbian now.
https://github.com/bennuttall/piwheels/issues/52

These are built automatically when new things are released to pypi. So the pygame 1.9.4 release should go on there without us having to do anything.

ps. Anyone reading this with a binary package they maintain... you can just ask them to install the Debian dependencies... or submit a PR to do so.
