Definitely, and developers have asked for this on the SDL newsgroup.  They've 
also asked for builtin color mouse support, but the author doesn't seem to 
think it's a good idea.

I'll try it after this release.  If it works, then perhaps we should remove 
the libkmid code.  It seems like I'm the only one that gets the 'shaking 
screen' bug; and as it always occurs just as a new midi starts to play, I'm 
fairly certain the problem has to do with libkmid.
