Since xarchon appears to play fairly faithfully to the original, is there a 
reason to delay a 1.0 release? There are a few small bugs that still need to 
be cleaned up, but xarchon _works_, so it would seem to make sense to 
release 1.0 without resize capability. This would alert potential 
users/players that xarchon is no longer beta software, and would also 
provide a nice "reference" release for future work.

Version 2.0 (or 1.2) could include the resize capability, then SDL after 
that, etc.

Is this an approach you would consider, Mike?
