SDL module
This module is under development and the interface may change.
SDL provides a low-level interface to video output, and keyboard and mouse input. This module currently supports making windowed or full-screen graphical applications, reading keyboard and mouse input, and displaying the contents of BMP graphics.
See the examples/sdl directory in the Kaya distribution for a simple example program.
