Finally found the time to test the SDL 1.2 input and found a few bugs.
I squashed the most critical ones, but there still seems to remain a
problem when deleting typed characters. I didn't have that with the
SDL 1.3 backend, so I assume base::utf8::from_utf16 doesn't work
completely right. (Although Unicode chars typed seem to appear
correct).

Will have to investigate later. Busy right now ...
