It was for at least one title IIRC, but I'll have have to talk to ex-Loki
guys to know if I'm just imagining things. I would really prefer to avoid
having legacy old-broken-SDL libs on just two or three archs if it can be
avoided. SDL is a fairly big lib as it is without maintaining also a
limited second copy which is promised to become obsolete soon, so I'm
hoping you're right.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really
good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change
their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really
do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are
human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot
recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
