So, before I waste time messing around with this - is there any reason
SDL is not already used for the other platforms?

Among other things, the other ports predated the SDL port?

Other possibilities: the SDL port is newer, and possibly less stable, and since it's just another layer over the regular API on Mac and Windows it will almost certainly add *some* overhead to calling the native API directly. And it's not like SL has CPU cycles to burn.
