one possibility that would require _much_ work would be to merge the SDL
blitters/ converters into Hermes. SDL currently uses some old MMX
converters from Hermes and does the other blitting/ conversion on its
own. So a nice task for a bored person would be to time all blitters/
converters and merge the fastest into Hermes. If SDL shouldn't rely on
another library (Hermes should compile on almost any machine that has an
ANSI C compiler) it could still just include the source of the new
Hermes. This way we had one blitting library we could focus writing
optimized code for.
