[SDL] SDL_net library maintanance

[Ulrich Eckhardt]

Hi!

I'm wondering about the state of the SDL_Net library. It is some years(!) ago 
that I stumbled across the fact that you need to explicitly tell the TCP 
stack under Linux (at least) that it shouldn't throw SIGPIPE around. This was 
independently reported by other people, too, but it seems that the messages 
are forwarded to /dev/null, i.e. that the maintainer is missing in action.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better and possible to import this library 
(which otherwise fits in quite well with the rest of SDL) into the main SDL 
repository so it could be easier accessed and maintained, or anything like 
that.

That being done, I'd also have a few suggestion concerning a possible future 
version 1.3, to be released with SDL 1.3, a few minor fixes to the interface.

Does that sound like an idea, or does anyone have an alternate suggestion? 
Should I dump the lib and use something completely different?
