[SDL] Cut and Paste in SDL

[Jeremy]

Every game in existence pretty much has a GUI. Pretty much all of those have
some sort of textual input widgets. If you honestly think it's not useful to

be said to convince you otherwise, as you clearly don't understand the
convenience of providing common functionality from within your SDL
application.
