I agree.  But I tried to keep it similar to what was already there.  The
DirectX would be under the UILib directory and it would handle all the
stuff DirectX does.  Then as we remove the DirectX stuff, we change the
architecture to match what we want.

Your right, I think we want to use more SDL stuff.  I don't think we
want to spread it around the code though.  In my mind we would want a
few classes under a 'graphics' directory that load images/blit/etc.  And
everything called those.  (And those would just call the SDL stuff) 
Putting SDL calls everywhere seems almost as bad as putting DirectX
calls everywhere.

Thanks,  I'm not sure what is safe to work on.  We probably ought to
stay away from big commits so we don't conflict on merges.
