Cool off. I was trying to make a point about SDL, not windows. 
And I said "if", not "when". To reiterate my point: specify the 
version of SDL you need to run. Leave it up to the user to 
install the right version. If future version of SDL break your 
app, fix it then.

I'm tempted to list the games I own that have been broken by DX 
upgrades -- and I don't own many games -- but let's keep it on 
topic.
