this is the case. SDL only supports a single window. there's no
way to get anything more than that. rumor has it the SDL2 library
will have some support for this, but don't hold your breath, that
project is well over a year away from being even close to ready.

yes, this should work. using sockets should prove pretty easy
and very portable. it just requires you have two separate processes
talking to each other in whatever fashion seems easiest
