But that works has been done already with the first pass, right?

I would prefer that, immensely.  It's just far too easy to have the 
.pkg and .h files diverge.

It's not difficult, it's just gotta be done.  So anywhere there are 
glut calls, you have to convert to SDL calls, etc.  Maybe I'm making 
too big a deal out of this, but that's partly because I've never 
actually had to write SDL code directly =3D)

That's because you use Python =3D)

How would you add classes that would generate static compile time 
errors without modifying the parser?
