[SDL] how to obtain the window handle of a window

[paul at theV.net]

Yes, you can obtain it this way:

    int r;
    SDL_SysWMinfo info;
    HWND hWnd;

    SDL_VERSION(&(info.version));
    r = SDL_GetWMInfo(&info);
    if (r < 0) {
        fprintf(stderr, "%s", SDL_GetError());
        return -1;
    }
    hWnd = info.window;

I'd agree that SDL shall be cross-platform, but sometimes you just
need the trick :(
