[pygame] pgreloaded 2.0.0-alpha1 released



pgreloaded 2.0.0-alpha1 was released.

pgreloaded (Pygame2) is an ongoing rewrite of the Pygame multimedia and
game framework. As Pygame, it's purpose is to make writing multimedia
applications, such as games, with Python as easy as possible, while
providing the developer a reliable and extensible programming interface.
It features a modular and loosely coupled package and module layout and
access to the most features of the libraries it wraps.

pgreloaded can be installed side-by-side with Pygame as it uses a
different package namespace and thus will not cause any conflicts with
another Pygame installation.

*** This is an alpha release for testing purposes and not meant to be
    run in production environments.
