Adding the warning does not necessarily mean that we've really got to
drop support for these in the very near future, but it's a good start to
remind people that support for the old versions won't be around forever
;-) And AFAIK the old versions of these libraries are not maintained by
the upstream projects anymore, too, so at one point in time, we've
really got to deprecate support for these in QEMU, too.

So would it at least be feasible to install SDL 2 on that build
machines? (IMHO installing SDL 2 from sources is not too much of a pain,
e.g. it does not require lots of other additional libraries around)
