Have your (previous) patches been submitted upstream (SDL, loki if they
still exist) yet? As I understand it, you are only extending functionality,
so no harm is done. Same with the new patches. I haven't read anything about
this on the sdl-announce list, so I suspect loki has not yet received any
patches? IMHO they should get them, all in one bunch, probably by you, since
you did all the work and know best about the background.

As for the technical stuff, looks like good research, I can not comment on
that. Go ahead for sdl-image and sdl-mixer whenever you are ready.
