which is why it doesn't work with current SDL (last I checked anyways).
SDL_OPENGLBLIT was removed from SDL.

and to confirm yes the code very much is in flux - although it's starting
to settle now.  I've still got some work to do with chromakey and alpha
management (so GIF transparency works amongst other things :)
and also clean up the font management some... so it actually RENDERS in
opengl.

There's also some threading issues that are biting rather hard right now,
and while 'dblbuffer' works, many other apps don't.  This may mean
reworking HOW rendering is handled.

G'day, eh? *wry grin*
