[SDL] rendering from a different thread.

afaik you can only render in the main thread - at least, I've tried to no avail.
SDL docs seem to support this.

Subject: [SDL] rendering from a different thread.

Anyone have any insights with using SDL & OpenGL with the rendering
 code and 
SDL_GL_SwapBuffers looping in a non-main thread?  Is this safe on all 
platforms?  Is this a good idea for a real-time rendering application
 like a 
game?  What are the pros/cons compared to drawing only in the main
 thread?

Thanks,
chaz
