[SDL] Filename Checker / Changer searched for Porting Windows Game to SDL

[R Manard]

I don't get how file names are a big deal. A port takes a replacement of
the basis of how all graphics, sound, and input get asked for and output.
The other stuff is all golden right? So like If I wanted a bmp of a smiley
face to be on the screen I would get it with an sdl function, store it in
an sdl, container, and use sdl to blit that image to the screen. The
filename that would change would be that I add the sdl include stuff and
remove all non cross platform stuff right?
