I'm not sure how the main branch approaches OpenGL (I never did get it
working on my system so....) but I think it was dependant on
SDL_OPENGLBLIT which doesn't really exist anymore.

I'm working on a branch (devel-opengl) which uses opengl natively for
rendering.  At this point it's:
        - working in dblbuffer - but the texture colourkeys aren't
        - crashing in anything multithreaded (this means pretty much all
                paragui demos unfortunately...)
I get quite nice speeds out of "dblbuffer -gl" now - 220fps yesterday :)
but still texturing's a little out.  Haven't built up the energy to deal
with it.

There's apparently a library that allows one to render opengl inside of a
paragui window.  It didn't work for me but who knows, it may work for you.

G'day, eh? :)
