It could. However NeL needs very few glue code with the OS, SDL has a
minimal OpenGL support (was added late, SDL primary purpose is direct
frame buffer access, doesn't deal with extensions for instance), and
comes with its own event and setup mechanism. I guess taking
'inspiration' from such a lib would be a good idea ... However SDL was
used by Loki for most ports, so it has a good track record.

I'm maintaining a list of GL toolkits here :

(Yes, I also have such a lib - NGL - which is bound to be released, but
is a much broader framework, shouldn't fit NeL)
