I guess a cleaner approach would be to use SDL_main to keep the code
simple and portable. I've seen some crashes in the the past that could
be related to the DirectX initialization in the SDL's main wrapper. On
the other hand it requires a custom SDL build (only libSDLmain.a, not
the sdl.dll) and that should be documented at least.

For OS X it's absolutely necessary, it initializes the QuickDraw libraries.
