It seems that they indeed removed SDL 1.2 reference from their web. However
the (still updated) development branch is still available. Just clone the
repository:

hg clone http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL

and switch into "SDL-1.2" branch with command:

hg update SDL-1.2

However, as you might have guessed by now, you need to build it by
yourself. On Linux it is easier, all distros offer SDL 1.2 packages so
there isn't this issue.

Atari800 hasn't been ported to SDL2 yet. :-(
