I'm sorry if I seem dense throughout all of this, XD. Okay, so I take your
package there, unzip it. I copy the pygame source code trunk into there. I
then use the windows cmd, and cd into that directory, and run python
setup.py --compiler=mingw32 install ?

I'm sorry, but you're going to need explicate more steps, and that, because
nothing is working for me. Doing the above, after I removed mingw32, and
msys, then reinstalled them, then unzipped the msyscore archive in the msys
directory to update to 1.0.11, I get this:

Hunting dependencies....
/bin/sh/ : sdl-config: No such directory or file
WARNING: "sdl-config" failed!
/bin/shL smpeg-config: No such directory or file
WARNING: "smpeg-config" failed!

Normally things work for me, but I'm having a lot of trouble here, because
nothing is clear, and Windows has the worst command-line utility around.
This is by no means a condemnation of you guys, just that you guys are
expecting more out of me, and its just not happening.
