A new stable version of SDL has just been released. I made a quick modification to the existing .ebuild's SRC_URI line, and it seems to install. I didn't check about extra ./configure flags that might be in this release, and hence add any appropriate USE checks. I'll leave that up to the maintainer of the ebuild. :)

I current eBuild I submitted does not work. Sorry about that. New, working one follows. *sigh* I can't believe I didn't *test* this before I submitted it. Too busy thinking about the myriad of other bugs I've submitted today, and I must of forgot. Anyway, use this newer .ebuild. It works for me. * I removed some parts (the framebuffer part in src_unpack()... seems like a patch for the older version? I removed them). * Added a correct value for ${S}.
