Experimenting

I did an experimental build of the Beta6 branch against the current work-in-progress version of SDL 1.3. While there's plenty of nice stuff in the new SDL (like multiple window support, new win32 event processing), it doesn't seem quite ready for our use at the moment. The biggest problems I encountered were that the relative mouse mode could not be activated, and that after a minute or two the whole process just hangs.
Still, SDL 1.3 looks promising for the future once it matures a bit (some custom patches could be applied if it doesn't mature fast enough
).
