Fixed Visual C++ release build for Visual C++ 2005 * Some math functions become intrinsic in release mode, so we need to convert all the math functions into SDL math functions, like we did with the stdlib functions. * Constant initializers of 8-bit values become calls to memset() in release mode, but memset() itself is an intrinsic when explicitly called. So we'll just explicitly call memset() in those cases.

To compile and install SDL:

    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!
