This code adds support for DirectColor visuals to SDL 1.3. The support uses part of the Xmu library. To ensure that the library is available and to keep people form having to install yet another library I have added the essential parts of Xmu in src/video/extensions/XmuStdCmap and an include file in src/video/extensions. The support makes use of standard X11 mechanisms to create color maps and make sure that an application uses the same color map for each window/visual combination. This should make it possible for gamma support to be implemented based on a single color map per application. Hurm... it looks like "make indent" modified a few extra files. Those are getting committed too.

>SDL supports audio control of up to 32 local CD-ROM drives at once.</P
><P
>You use this API to perform all the basic functions of a CD player,
including listing the tracks, playing, stopping, and ejecting the CD-ROM.
(Currently, multi-changer CD drives are not supported.)</P
><P
>Before you call any of the SDL CD-ROM functions, you must first call
"<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM)</TT
>", which scans the system for
CD-ROM drives, and sets the program up for audio control.  Check the 
return code, which should be <SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>0</SPAN
>, to see if there 
were any errors in starting up.</P
><P
>After you have initialized the library, you can find out how many drives
are available using the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_CDNumDrives()</TT
> function.  
The first drive listed is the system default CD-ROM drive.  After you have 
chosen a drive, and have opened it with <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_CDOpen()</TT
>, 
you can check the status and start playing if there's a CD in the drive.</P
><P
>A CD-ROM is organized into one or more tracks, each consisting of a certain
number of "frames".  Each frame is ~2K in size, and at normal playing speed,
a CD plays 75 frames per second.  SDL works with the number of frames on a
CD, but this can easily be converted to the more familiar minutes/seconds
format by using the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>FRAMES_TO_MSF()</TT
> macro.</P
