stuart, hmm, looks like the binaries i created for SDL_image didn't 
include TGA support this time around (strange). as a quick solution, you 
could download the windows binary for SDL_image and put the 
SDL_image.dll into the installed pygame directory. you may lose support 
for a couple other formats, but you should gain tga.
