[SDL] SDL and Win32 processes

[Josh Matthews]

For a game I'm writing, I created a simple console emulator that draws
text on screen and allows user input, and I have it running in a
separate thread from the main game.  It's rather simple, and just
requires a single mutex to keep the game from writing to the log at
the same time as it's being read.
