If you want eye-candy I would dump the 2d-SDL version completly.
Mixing the newest eye-candy while still trying to provide an old
software 2d target will just give quite a huge headache, it would
basically require to fork of two different versions, since you can't
rely on some special-fx for an endboss or in a level without breaking
the 2d target. If you on the other side don't use any of the eye-candy
so that OpenGL and SDL can co-oexist, OpenGL would be quite a waste,
since 640x480 in 2D is quite handable without OpenGL if no
alphablending or rotations are in use, the OpenGL target wouldn't be
of much use.
