So I did the most general thing: I added an sdl-nox variant (hoping that as many packages as possible will switch to it), and also fixed the plain "sdl" package to not use convenience symlinks, and to add the X11 include paths to the "sdl-config --cflags" output, in an attempt to get packages to compile cleanly. I did this on 10.8, my OS X version of choice, so I'd appreciate if people could test this on 10.9+.
