This probably shouldn't have changed in any significant way (I can't 
check at the moment -- again, work hold me back here) -- if it has, I'd 
consider it a bug (or, at least, an issue) in CVS.

If it has been broken, I'm not familiar enough Cygwin's build tools to 
give an exact way to fix it, but my gut wants me to ask if there is any 
/clean/ way to detect the difference between `c` and `c++` and force c++ 
(from SDL's .h files) to treat make SDL_main compile with C naming 
conventions?
