[SDL] Making a screenshot

[benang at cs.its.ac.id]

Ah, I see thanks guys. Although my first impression about screenshot would
be copying the surface to a clipboard daemon (eg. Klipper, or Windows'
Clipboard). But because I don't understand Linux that much, making a
bitmap file of the surface will be suffice right now. Maybe I'll explore
more on how to copy the surface's contents to KDE's Klipper when I have
time. Thanks alot guys.
