I'm not even sure that we gain any performance advantage. The OpenGL
code is untuned at the moment, but now it is definitvly slower than
the appropriate SDL code. We'll see the performance, when it's done.
Hmm, if we implement such things like parallax tricks in OpenGL,
wouldn't the SDL 'version' begin to behave differently. Good or bad?

Yepp.
