[SDL] Dynamically loading SDL dlls

[Jeremy]

I mentioned that earlier. I'm not going to play the object file game either.
It's easier to find a library that fits my needs better than maintain a
couple hundred meg zip of object files(and libraries?) from a large project
in the zero chance someone will want to re-link SDL. It's wasted effort. SDL
is great, just not for my needs in this particular case. On the other hand
I'm growing to really like what SFML has to offer as part of this
experimentation with alternatives.
