Subject: [PATCH] Add missing functions and bring back OpenGL
This patch adds missing functions:
IconifyWindow
GetWMInfo
GL_LoadLibrary
GL_GetProcAddress
GL_GetAttribute
GL_MakeCurrent
Adding GL_* functions brings back working OpenGL in SDL for BeOS :).
With addd GL_* functions there are few changes in Window class to handle
changes better.
Patch also fixes bug which freezed window when using MesaGL instead of
BeOS r5 GL - it just needed Window->Quit() added into BE_VideoQuit().
THX to Michael Weirauch (a.k.a emwe) who worked on that bug before and
found that it freezes because of lock somewhere.
THX to Matti "Mictlantecuhtli" Lev��nen for testing, Rod��ric Vicaire
(a.k.a. Ingenu) for OpenGL wisdom, and Stefano Ceccherini (a.k.a Jack
Burton) for asking me to fix SDL on BeOS :).

| 18 Adds a callback function to be run after the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed\&. The callback function is passed the current timer interval and the user supplied parameter from the \fBSDL_AddTimer\fP call and returns the next timer interval\&. If the returned value from the callback is the same as the one passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a new alarm is scheduled\&. | |

| 20 To cancel a currently running timer call \fISDL_RemoveTimer\fR with the timer ID returned from \fBSDL_AddTimer\fP\&. | |

22 The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your main program, and so shouldn\&'t call any functions from within itself\&. You may always call \fISDL_PushEvent\fR, however\&. |

24 The granularity of the timer is platform-dependent, but you should count on it being at least 10 ms as this is the most common number\&. This means that if you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms later on an unloaded system\&. If you wanted to set a flag signaling a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a timer for 30 ms (see example below)\&. If you use this function, you need to pass \fBSDL_INIT_TIMER\fP to \fISDL_Init\fR\&. |
