[pygame] Choosing an installer format for Windows (and Vista questions)

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

On Windows the Python 2.5 distutils package can build two kinds of 
installer, the traditional Python installer executable and the newer 
Windows (msi) installer. It seems redundant to provide both kinds of 
installer so I wonder if there is a preference. I understand Vista has 
problems with the older Python installer and privilege escalation. Do 
msi installers have the same problem? Does the msi installer for Python 
work properly? Unfortunately I do not have access to Vista. So if anyone 
is willing to try a Pygame msi installer on Vista I would appreciate it. 
Everything is at Pygame 1.8.0rv4(5?). They are available at:
