Re: [pygame] _movie module build problem in Debian: ffmpeg headers

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Update,

Fixed in SVN. Also, the Windows dependency tool chain has been updated 
for ffmpeg. Ffmpeg svn rev. *23520 was built on Windows XP. This 
revision even has a working ffplay for Windows. Attached is a small 
_movie test program that gets a window up and sound playing. No movie 
though. So the _movie problem on Windows appears to be a Windows event 
problem.

A simple movie player that plays an MPEG movie in a Pygame window. It showcases
the pygame.movie module. The window adjusts to the size of the movie image. It
is given a boarder to demonstrate that a movie can play autonomously in a sub-
window. Also, the file is copied to a file like object to show that not just
Python files can be used as a movie source.
