With every pygame release it is becoming more work to maintain 
compatability with the oldish python 1.5. At some point it is probably 
going to be easier to drop it, and clean all the current workarounds.

At this point people are starting to find things that run slower, only 
because they are using 'outdated' python techniques.

My current plan is to either drop the 1.5 support now, or make the 
next pygame release the last with the old compatability stuff. I'm 
mainly wondering if anyone has any interest in this anyways. Just 
looking for some feedback on this for now.
