[SDL] How to enable 2D hardware acceleration on Windows?

[Brian]

Recent versions of SDL, AFAIK, all use "windib" as the default video
backend, and thus will never use hardware acceleration. You would need
to use the DirectX backend to do that. I believe this can be
controlled using an environmental variable
(http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fenvvars). If you want to
know more about SDL and hardware, I highly recommend Bob Pendleton's
SDL articles (http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2003/08/07/sdl_anim.html)
