[SDL] Developing a standalone EXE in VC++ with SDL - possible?

[Peter Mackay]

It's quite possible to build an exe which behaves in this way using
VC++ 2005 Express (I've not updated to 2008 yet) by using the non-DLL
(static) runtime libraries and including SDL_win32_main.c in your
project instead of SDLmain.lib.

I'd be really surprised if it couldn't be done in the same way with 2008.
