I confirmed that the freebsd & netbsd images still work as SDL just gets
automatically disabled by configure. The openbsd image breaks hard though
because SDL is the only available audio backend on openbsd, effectively
making SDL a mandatory requirement.

So we definitely need to update the openbsd image to have SDL2.
