Added an ifdef so that if you #define SDL_NO_COMPAT before you include SDL.h then SDL_compat.h will never be included in your code. This is useful for making sure that your code uses only SDL 1.3 features. It is also handy for finding things that are in SDL_compat.h that belong elsewhere.

>The SDL library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux, *BSD, MacOS, Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces, (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to your application. SDL is a fairly low level API, but using it, completely portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.</P
