[SDL] is SDL supposed to be using WinMain?

[Lilith Calbridge]

I won't claim expertise on this but I suspect what's happening is that
winmain() is used but it's disguised as simple main().  Since SDL has
been developed so as to be portable across multiple systems, it goes
with the C standard of using main() as the entry point.  If development
is done in a Windows oriented compiler then main() in the code gets
transformed into winmain() where and when needed.
