[SDL] SDL 1.3 sneak peek (July 2006)

[askok at dnainternet.net]

How about typedeffing "enum_int" or something, that would 
show in the function prototypes, that things like "access" 
are really enumerated types, not "any number".

I've used this in LuaX, and even though it does not tell 
_which_ enumerated type the parameter is, it is still a 
step towards clarity (imho).
