SDL would be good for the role of PicoGUI Media Layer Of Choice (tm)
except for a few big reasons:
- It doesn't handle color depths lower than 8bpp
- It only supports true color or palletized video modes
(more unusual modes like text mode or a tiled mode would
be impossible to work with, even though it may make sense
to use SHM in either of those)
- It includes a lot of extras, like sound and joystick support,
that shouldn't be required just to write a portable program that
uses PicoGUI's shared memory.
