Antialiased draw functions. (Was Re: [pygame] Possible problem in transform)

["Nat Pryce" <nat.pryce@b13media.com>]

Talking of antialising and Pygame...  does Pygame support the antialiased
line, circle and ellipse drawing functions from SDL_gfx? Is there any plan
to?  I'd love an AA ellipse function for my current project, as it's a
simple way of generating nice looking shadows for isometric 3D sprites.

Cheers,
            Nat.
