    <para>
      The Simple DirectMedia Layer (<application>SDL</application>
      for short) is a cross-platform library designed to make it easy to write
      multimedia software, such as games and emulators.  This code is a 
      compatibility layer; it provides a binary and source compatible API 
      for programs written against SDL 1.2, but it uses SDL 2.0 behind the scenes.

      If you wish, test the <application>sdlcompat</application> package
      using the included test programs. It is not required to install any of

      You'll need to manually run all the test programs (they are listed in
      the <filename>README</filename> file in this directory).  Many of them
      will need to be manually killed, and you'll need to turn your speakers
      on with the volume at a suitable level.
