[SDL] statically linking to SDL

[hayward at slothmud.org]

If you want to statically link to SDL, you merely link with the ".a"
instead of the ".so".  Your question in the subject would imply you are
not worried about statically linking the XFree86 components, which means
it's ok if you link to the X ".so" library.
