Yes, I agree. However don't you think it is still worth attempting 
to provide an abstraction layer that works on as wide a class 
of platforms as is reasonably convenient?

The argument works the other way too: SDL doesn't support
more sophisticated platforms either.

Still .. I'm amazed at what people actually do get working!
