This project is already underway (I don't have a URL handy at the moment)
being worked on by another group.  The major problem is that DirectX is
a moving target, and by layering DirectX on top of another API, you make
it dog-slow.

Both of these make implementing DirectX a project I won't consider with SDL.

See ya!
