Okay, I think I'm going to create a new project. I'll leave Doris as
GLUI, GLUT, GL with a toLua++ binding and start a new project. LuaGame?
Bacon? :)

Components in new project:

* SDL - gfx, joystick

* SAL/SDL_mixer - sound

* Glbind.cpp - drawing - copied from Doris so don't have to maintain
toLua stuff in new project.

* enet - networking.

* OpenDE - physics/collision.

* Add some sprite library, particle system etc.

* Some basic GUI library.

What I like about using SDL is all the components there are to adopt and
merge in. Probably do a manual Lua binding.

Anyway, this is a longer term project. I should probably finish that q2x
stuff first. Can I get CVS access? :)
