We are already working on upgrading sdl12 with sem@ and sat@ and almost all patches already available. We decided to eliminate this stupid=20 sdl11 renaming scheme and use stock sdl naming politics. This will simplify the process of sdl-dependent creations greatly. Unfortunately, there are over 500 sdl dependent ports currently, and before commit we should ensure all of them builds Ok. So don't send another sdl PR, if you want to help you can write to me, sem@ or sat@. Help is always needed. BTW, all sdl_* ports should be upgraded as well as there was little API breakage at 1.2.10 AFAIK.
