Got it. Is it your plan to eventually switch to a video[y][x] = color
scheme, or is the current system as far as you want to take this?

A note: in my testing, writing individual pixels by using the surface
object's "list of lists" structure is about 25% slower than by using
set_at() (as expected).

While waiting for 0.0.6, I'll be porting Sam's aliens.c over to
python. I'm pretty excited about this, since the blit-heavy nature of
the program should result in pretty good performance, and I think that
most SDL users learn by reading aliens.c (there's a lot of
"aliensisms" in other peoples code :))
