Description: a C++ wrapper for the Simple DirectMedia Layer
SDLmm is a C++ glue for SDL, or the Simple DirectMedia Layer,
which is a generic API that provides low level access to audio,
keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer
across multiple platforms.
.
SDLmm aims to stay as close as possible to the C API while taking
advantage of native C++ features like object orientation.
It also aims at being platform independent as much as possible.

So a few months later, I will drop it now.
Upstream seems dead since many years ago, with unanswered requests
from people wanting to take over. SDL2 is supposed to be released
really soon now, so with time this software will be less and less
useful.
In any case, if this project or a similar one is revived and useful to
people, we can package it at that time, no need to keep this bug open.
Cheers and thanks.
