Most oldskool games or emulators need no
MultiWindow Support or such things.

Even if you need Multi Windows in OS Classic
there are always ways to get what you want
without SDL 1.3.

But todays systems the features of SDL 1.3 really rock.

We may see in the future GUI Toolkits changing to SDL 1.3
as there underlying GFX Toolkit. The FLTK people are thinking
about making the system things in kind of device drivers.
And a finished SDL 1.3 could be used to build one.
