I can't get the windowid hack to work. pygame just puts up it's own
window instead of the hwnd passed in. The docs state that one has to
make a child window of the passed HWND, maybe that is what is wrong.

One could perhaps make a child window with win32gui? I'll look into
that and see what happens.
