While I appreciate all the extra effort you are going to, we migfht
take a step back and say that animation blit is not supported on
python2.3 and win32. If you want the latest features, use the latest
python. The wx backend and traditional animation will still work on
python2.3. And with the enthought python2.4 release supposedly in the
pipeline, I suspect most who need the faster techniques will be able
to upgrade.

One is just a typedef for the other, so while it is not good form,
it's perfectly legal since they both are the same thing. It's
basically like a C macro.

I guess I am also driven by not have to deal with mingw. The VS7
build is just so simple. There are a lot of sites claiming you can
just use the headers from STLport (stlport.org) and it just works. I
will try to get this working and may claim defeat if that fails.
