After you guys are done - I'm going to take a look at what I want to continue
to support.  If it's not too much effort, I'll be ripping out all of the SDL
nonsense - reverting menu systems and image loaders to use PLIB...generally
getting rid of the unnecessarily awkard stuff.

If you guys would pitch in to fix that, we could get a release that we'd
all agree on.

Then I'll make a proper release and go back to maintaining it.

I won't maintain a version that depends on a bunch of other libraries
though. I know from VERY painful experience how my email in-box will
look if we do that.

I would be suprised if this patch improved frame rates on all graphics
card types - but if it does, then it should be rolled into PLIB and
not be a TuxKart-only thing.
