[Mirra] Mirra and pygame

[enrike]

hi again

I have been checking this and i dont like very much having to use
from mirra import *
because then I have to be doing graphics.Rect and so on everywhere and 
this is a mayor change in the way I have been doing mirra up to now.

What do you think about doing something like
import pygame.locals as p
print p.K_m

It does work and allows to use pygame.locals within mirra with no mayor 
changes.

> Given that the key constants are in pygame.locals it's a pretty frequent import you are bound to use sooner or later. It's unfortunate that it breaks the mirra.graphics namespace. Both Rect and Text are defined in pygame.
