[SDL] Inexpensive development tools.

I want to throw in another IDE:
Eclipse CDT
It's very feature rich and like any Java-Application it's portable. I've 
been using it for years now and the current version gained a lot of 
features and speed. You have to provide a compiler and usually you're 
doing best using a gcc-based compiler. With eclipse you can get 
integrated SVN functionality (Subclipse) and i haven't seen anything 
comparable when it comes to debugging of multithreaded applications. 
(And of course, its free)
