While this may or may not be suitable for adding to SDL officially, I didn't want to put any Xlib dependencies in my code directly. To use: - Apply patch/rebuild. - export SDL_WINDOW_POS=center - Call SDL_SetVideoMode as needed. (Ideally, this could be expanded to handle other commands like SDL_WINDOW_POS=20x190, etc, and could be implemented for other targets, but this is really a hack to avoid API changes).

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.
