I would hope you will be 'replacing' it with PLIB-relevant code rather 
than 'removing' it.

And the idea of GotM is for the maintainer is to play an active role.  
No offense Steve, but since GotM started you have done jack all.  
Perhaps if you were actually doing something, then this whole SDL thing 
wouldn't have happened?

You started off so eager, then bemoaned people having ideas that were 
not 100% fitting with your own, and then "disappeared into the void".  
If you aren't going to offer direction other than dictating what libs 
may and may not be used, it's no wonder things are going awry as far as 
you are concerned.

There are unacceptable caveats with PLIB - the fullscreen one being 
cheif among them (I run 1280x1024, a resolution I do not want to carry 
over into the game which my CPU+GPU can barely handle _before_ the 
models are enhanced).  And you refuse to acknowledge, and hence solve, them.
