[SDL] SDL 1.3 and key repeating

[Pavel Kanzelsberger]

Hi,

that's a good idea if you leave it for operating system, because they  
usually have repeat settings defined by user and it should have same  
behaviour as in other apps.

So should I wait for keyrepeat working soon or do I need to implement  
it myself using timers?
