Re: Data files

["hursh" <hursh@sparc.isl.net>]

	Sounds good to me.  What all should go in the theme definition?  Images of course.  Sound might make sense.  If we decide on the format (and if I can get cvs to work for me :^) I will make the change for the sounds theming.  
	On an unrelated note, we currently do not have a dependancy on SDL right?  Is anyone still planning that for the future?
