Ok, fair enough. We should be able to make this work then.

That is a step beyond the patch I've sent, it would be a nice
improvement though.

Its very hard to make a libsdl-native work properly when you consider
things like GL which is why I'd really prefer to ignore libsdl-native if
we can. I certainly do not want the bugs about GL support being broken
in it which are where this leads :(
