I think it will with SDL_Texture.

I'm glad to see the interest but most of the base work
is still needing to be done as far as the OpenGL stuff.
We need modern OpenGL support in POGL before a lot of
the specific development can occur.

However, one important piece that could be investigated
is how we could make conversion between SDL2 objects
and PDL objects work.  Ideally we could have a fast
conversion to take a piddle and use it for an SDL2 surface
or texture or whatever and similarly for the other direction.

Currently, the approach used for SDL is to create the PDL
object with the right sized data segment and then pass that
to SDL to make a surface from that.  I'm not sure what would
work for SDL2 stuff.
