Hi Lipka,
Wouldn't it be better to just use a submodule for the SDL_gpu library
instead
of merging it in our source code (history)?
I see SDL_gpu uses svn on google code, but we could setup a github
mirror. I see
some had success asking the Github team to setup themselves an automatic
mirroring system [0] altough that was based on git, not svn.

Anyone else, if you want to raise any concerns, please do it fast.
Otherwise I'll merge the SDL_gpu branch in a couple of days.

SDL_gpu sounds like a good option for me. Thanks for your work on
this so far.
