General improvements for user custom event registration * Switched event type to enum (int32) * Switched polling by mask to polling by type range * Added SDL_RegisterEvents() to allow dynamic user event registration * Spread events out to allow inserting new related events without breaking binary compatibility * Added padding to event structures so they're the same size regardless of 32-bit compiler structure packing settings * Split SDL_HasEvent() to SDL_HasEvent() for a single event and SDL_HasEvents() for a range of events * Added SDL_GetEventState() as a shortcut for SDL_EventState(X, SDL_QUERY) * Added SDL_FlushEvent() and SDL_FlushEvents() to clear events from the event queue

To compile and install SDL:

    0.  If you have downloaded this from the website, skip to the next step.
        If you have checked this out from subversion, you'll need to run
        ./autogen.sh to build the configure script. 

    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!
