Thanks Sylvian, Neil, Atrix, and everyone else who replied to my woes. I think I
was trying to bite off more than I could chew, so on reflection I'm going to do
SDL in C for now and use assembler for other things. I'll revist this topic when
a get a bit more knowledge, as it seems a really nice and obvious kind of thing
to do. (I did get an SDL window up and running in asm, but ground to a halt at
that point.)

Now, my current challenge is how to get SDL working in LCC-Win32, so expect a
thread on that ;-) (Or I could just use mingw as Julien suggested).
