I just looked at it, and I have some small things we should think of:

-The name UILib seems somewhat strange to me... A Subdirectory 
 NetPanzer/Graphics/SDL or so would make more sense.
-Do we want to wrap all the drawing routines once again? I think it would 
 make more sense to "inject" the SDL calls directly into the netpanzer 
 code. SDL already is an abstracted API, there's no need to introduce 
 another unneccessary layer of abstraction IMO... (NetPanzer already has 
 way too many of these)

no problem. I don't have msvc anyway, so unfortunately I can't test this 
stuff anyway.

My next big commit (which also contains a Makefile) is ready ... I'm just 
waiting until savannah updated the ssh keys...
