This is not true. On osx you have to use it because sdl is based on  
Cocoa which requires control inversion (i.e. Cocoa forces you to  
enter a function that never returns to handle input). Would the osx  
driver be based on Carbon you wouldn't be forced to use sdlmain.

I have nothing against sdlmain if it simplifies multiplatform setup.  
However when you are forced to use it, it can get in the way in some  
cases, one example being in bindings to higher level languages that  
have toplevel loops (ocaml, lisp, python, etc).

P.S. I could give a hand on a carbon based driver for 1.3.
