It all doesn't really matter, there's no interface to double-buffering
in SDL 1.3, and there's no SDL_Flip anymore (in the 1.3 API, there's
still one in the compatibility API that calls SDL_UpdateRect for the
whole screen). The new way, SDL_RenderPresent, is very simple, it has
no arguments at all, and yet can do the same optimizations you could
do with SDL_UpdateRect, automatically.
