Re: [pygame] Announce: pygame 1.8.0rc4 tar ball.

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have updated all installers and document bundles on my site* to rc4. 
So the msi installer is ready for a Vista trial.

Slightly off topic, but one thing I remembered is that the MMX scaling 
code Richard Goedeken so generously donated in not used in Visual C 
builds. The MMX code is in AT&T form, not used by masm. So the options 
are to add an masm translation of the code to transform.c or just use 
the MinGW compiled transform.pyd. Of course VC may be clever enough to 
do its own MMX optimization.
