I have also renamed *TEXTUREBLENDMODE* constants to BLENDMODE*. The unix build compiles. The windows renderer still needs to be updated, but I have no windows development machine at hand. Have a look at the x11 renderer for a sample. Vector games now run at 90% both on opengl and directfb in comparison to sdlmame's own opengl renderer. The same applies to raster games. The diff also includes a) Changed XDrawRect to XFillRect in x11 renderer b) A number of changes to fix blending and modulation issues in the directfb renderer.

TestiPhoneOS.xcodeproj contains targets to compile many of the SDL test programs for iPhone OS.  Most of these test programs work fine, with the following exceptions:

testalpha:
	Program crashes.  Problem appears to effect Mac OS X as well.

testhread:
	SIGTERM kills the process immediately without executing the 'kill' function.  The posix standard says this shouldn't happen.  Apple seems intent on having iPhone apps exit promptly when the user requests it, so maybe that's why(?)

testlock:
	Locks appear to work, but there doesn't appear to be a simple way to send the process SIGINT.

testpalette:
	"SDL error: blitting boat: Blit combination not supported."  Happens on Mac OS X as well.

testsprite2: 
	SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface requests an ARGB pixel format, but iPhone's SDL video driver only supports ABGR.

testwin:
	Behaves as it does under Mac OS X ... not sure if that is correctly or not.

threadwin:
	Works if -threaded is not on.  Otherwise it doesn't work, but this is true under Mac OS X as well.
