Exactly. Now, I havent checked that bit of code in ages but earlier 
versions of SDL had special code to detect key repeat so it can be 
ignored.

My definition of what "Simple" means changed quite a long time a go. In 
SDL 1.1 (when I discovered SDL) it used to mean "realy low level", 
but as time has passed it is more and more a case of "easy to use" instead.

And I think it's starting to get realy bloated as well. The build I use 
for development is only about 1/3 the size of a default build, and it 
still contains video, events, threads and timers...

I havent checked yet, but I have a gut feeling I can remove atleast 1/3 of 
the remaining size by letting my GUI library talk directly to the 
SDL-backends.
