Hey, go check out allegro (you don't know about allegro? gasp! it's to
be found wherever you found DJGPP). It provides low and high level
graphics, sound, keyboard. Could be a very viable base to start
programming from.

In further news, I have the SDL ggi backend compiling and running the
sample applications (well to the extent of getting an error message
:-))... Sam, you quite obviously hadn't looked at that GGI backend for
**ages**, the SDL internal API has changed quite a lot since it was last
touched... :-)
