[SDL] [SPAM] Toggling fullscreen at run time.

[benang at cs.its.ac.id]

So, I can just call the SDL_SetVideoMode() again but without the
SDL_FULLSCREEN flag, right? But will it return the same display surface
pointer? I basically just store the display surface pointer generated by
SDL_SetVideoMode() as a private member variables on my main class and pass
it as a parameter to any class which need it (and in turn set it as its
own member variable). And the one that wants to change the mode is the
other class (ie. not the main class). I know that it's a bad practice, but
that's what you get when developing without designing first (or designing
on the fly :D). I intend to fix it but it has evolved to a tangled web of
disarray, so I didn't. After all it has filled its purpose quite well.
