That was a strong word (the s... one).

Anyway, AFAIK it's all being done with IFDEFS for the moment.  If you
can maintain the PLIB side of those IFDEFS then everybody will be happy.
The problem is that PLIB doesn't seem to handle things in the way people
want/expect and asking questions via the mailing list is just an
abysmally slow way to progress when you have lots of questions.

(Perhaps if you hung out on irc just once or twice?)

I don't know the specifics other than fullscreen mode that was, erm,
declined more than answered (ie. "go with a borderless window") so it
would be useful if James or somebody could go over the various issues
that SDL is currently being used to solve.

I'm pretty certain everybody would be happy to use PLIB only if they
knew how to, and that SDL can be considered a stop-gap solution until
the PLIB aspect is put in, but it's currently needed to aid progress.

At least, that's my take on it.
