Cool :) All this OpenGL stuff is going very well :) Good job 

All this means that one can switch to the SDL or OpenGL backend in 
runtime, something like passing an flag to some init function to select 
the backend ?

I didnt know that SDl had a module loader.. Any difference with using 
dlopen and friends ?

Good job again.. what about doing a aa (ascii art) backend ? :-)
