Well, for the *basic* I/O stuff, plib isn't catching up with SDL. Actually basic I/O is about the only reason why SDL is created after all. I don't say why should move to SDL, but I like it and *if* we move away from GLUT (which in my opinion would be a good idea) then SDL would be my favorite alternative. And again, it would remove a lot of ugliness from SimGear.
