``glSDL is an implementation of the SDL API on top of OpenGL. This
version is a proof-of-concept hack, and is implemented as a
"wrapper" around SDL. However, the final version will be a real
rendering backend, which will make it possible for most SDL
applications to use hardware acceleration for all blits to the
screen.''
Basically what it means, as far as I understand it, is that you write
your app as normal SDL, but can optionally link with glSDL (it's a
link time change, not runtime) to take advantage of 3D acceleration.
Note: I have not tried it myself.
