I only have the X11 and Win32 video patched. The Win32 patch also adds support for WGL_ARB_pixel_format, as it was required for getting a multisample capable pixel format. No additional GL header files are required to compile on either platform (though you need an up-to-date glx.h for X11). Requesting a multisample pixel format is made possible using SDL_GL_SetAttribute with the two new SDL_GLattr's I've added (SDL_GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS and SDL_GL_SAMPLES). I've been using SDL in my projects for quite a while now, so I am happy to contribute back to the project. Now you can have and control FSAA in your SDL/GL apps at the application level!

To compile and install SDL:

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

        If you are cross-compiling from Linux to Win32, you should read
        the file README.Win32

        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!
