Refactored automated rwops tests so read and write directories can be more easily customized. The refactored tests were written in recognition that Mac and iPhone current working directories are usually not going to work. Resource directories are in bundles and write directories are restricted to certain areas. In theory, other platforms may have this problem too, hence the refactoring. Also updated the Xcode iPhone project to use 3.2 as the Base SDK, but 3.1 as the Deployment SDK (for iPhone/iPad compatibility.)

To compile and install SDL:

    0.  If you have downloaded this from the website, skip to the next step.
        If you have checked this out from subversion, you'll need to run
        ./autogen.sh to build the configure script. 

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
