[SDL] Quiting SDL window without quiting application?

[Jason Hoffoss]

What I'm thinking this might be is some kind of strange MFC window
destructor behavior.  With no window, maybe it assumes the program can't do
anything useful and so it terminates.  When it comes to MFC, it's a whole
new philosophy after all.  Is the OpenGL window acting as the frame window?
If so, it should probably be a view window instead.  If you don't really
need MFC, I'd recommend just making a Win32 application instead.  That's
more what SDL is designed for.
