[SDL] SDL 1.3 Compatibility

Hello,


I've tried to compile my game for SDL 1.3.  I've found a couple things
namely:

 - Deprecation of SDLK_* macros in favour of scancodes.
 - SDL_PixelFormat changes.
 - SDL_Mixer not working as expected.

SDLK_* macros have had some changes, notably both SDLK_FIRST and
SDLK_LAST have been removed (which I both use) and it seems like the
scancodes don't map to ASCII anymore.  Is this definitive? Is there a
little howto or something on moving from SDL 1.2 keyboard system to SDL
1.3 keyboard system?  This has got me a bit confused.

SDL_PixelFormat seems to be completely different.  Will some
compatibility be added for 1.2's SDL_PixelFormat?  or will there be a
rough "conversion" guide made to upgrade code to 1.3?  I prefer the
former, because I've never been a big fan of preprocessor #ifs in the code.

Other then that it looks pretty solid, haven't really gotten around to
test more functionality though.  It seems like I'll have to compile a
new SDL_Mixer for SDL 1.3 since that looks broken, but SDL_Image is
working ok.

Will try to run more regression tests and such when I can get it working
natively without ugly hacks (and start looking at the new API stuff).
