[SDL] Handling a large number of image files

[Tom Davies]

Thanks for the tips. I am playing around with IMG_ReadXPMFromArray, and so

everything compiles okay but it crashes as soon as I call that function and
I can't
figure out why. I will continue to play around with it and try and debug the
problem
though. Thanks!
