Emphasized the separation between SDL_Surface and SDL_Texture - SDL_Surface is a system memory representation of pixel data - SDL_Texture is a video memory representation of pixel data The concept of SDL_Surface with SDL_HWSURFACE is no longer used. Separated SDL_Texture types by usage rather than memory type - SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STATIC is for rarely changed pixel data, can be placed in video memory. - SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING is for frequently changing pixel data, usually placed in system memory or AGP memory. Optimized the SDL_compat usage of the OpenGL renderer by only using one copy of the framebuffer instead of two.

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

 * Add a way to register custom events
 * Add internal support for adding video modes and refresh rates
 * Support querying and setting refresh rate with video modes
 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for Mac OS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
