Apparently MacOS X will sometimes pass command line arguments to a Cocoa
app as an openFile() message, so we have to make sure we were launched from
the Finder before accepting these as drag'n'drop documents, or they will just
duplicate what's already in argc/argv.

| 14 This function and the semantics of SDL alpha blending have changed since version 1\&.1\&.4\&. Up until version 1\&.1\&.5, an alpha value of 0 was considered opaque and a value of 255 was considered transparent\&. This has now been inverted: 0 (\fBSDL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT\fP) is now considered transparent and 255 (\fBSDL_ALPHA_OPAQUE\fP) is now considered opaque\&. | |

19 The\fBsurface\fR parameter specifies which surface whose alpha attributes you wish to adjust\&. \fBflags\fR is used to specify whether alpha blending should be used (\fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP) and whether the surface should use RLE acceleration for blitting (\fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP)\&. \fBflags\fR can be an OR\&'d combination of these two options, one of these options or 0\&. If \fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface\&. The \fBalpha\fR parameter is the per-surface alpha value; a surface need not have an alpha channel to use per-surface alpha and blitting can still be accelerated with \fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP\&. |

56 Note that RGBA->RGBA blits (with SDL_SRCALPHA set) keep the alpha of the destination surface\&. This means that you cannot compose two arbitrary RGBA surfaces this way and get the result you would expect from "overlaying" them; the destination alpha will work as a mask\&. |

58 Also note that per-pixel and per-surface alpha cannot be combined; the per-pixel alpha is always used if available |
