Fixed bug #220 The AltiVec blitters don't compile, since they require __VEC__ to be enabled in order for the compiler to understand "vector" and friends (i.e. do AltiVec) But you don't want to turn AltiVec on globally, since then the code would only run on a G4 (there are already runtime tests, before using the AltiVec variants) The solution here is to enable AltiVec locally, for the actual AltiVec code.

Gets a snapshot of the current keyboard state\&. The current state is return as a pointer to an array, the size of this array is stored in \fBnumkeys\fR\&. The array is indexed by the \fI\fBSDLK_*\fP\fR symbols\&. A value of 1 means the key is pressed and a value of 0 means its not\&. The pointer returned is a pointer to an internal SDL array and should not be freed by the caller\&.
