[pygame] Third Party Module Building

["Pete Shinners" <shredwheat@mediaone.net>]

Well folks out there are already starting to try to put together
some 3rd party python modules. I'm getting tired, so i'll just
grab this off the update i made to the pygame frontpage...

Well, much to my surprise it is already time that 3rd party pygame
modules are starting to appear. Pygame is designed in such a way that
3rd party modules can be packaged separately, but still be treated as
first class citizens. I've created a small skeleton for anyone to use
to start creating their own pygame modules. It comes with a small
example that handles the pygame auto initialization and adds a small
function to work with surfaces. This little sample also comes with
a distutils setup script that easily adds your module into the pygame
installation. Lastly there is a small helpfile that includes a little
more info. Again, this small archive has the tools you need to create
your own pygame modules in C. Grab it here.
