Well, I'm a linux user so I'm mostly working on linux/x11. However I can 
stand a little windows from time to time (and I have a cross compiling 
environment with wine just in case :).
Now for the features, what about asking on the SDL mailing list ? Here 
are my ideas :
- multi window is asked for a lot, but it's not the easiest of the pack
- a stable blit scaling interface
- vsync support
- something I have working on linux & windows already to detect whether 
the current OpenGL visual has performance caveats. More generally, since 
an increasing number of apps will make use of OpenGL in the future, I 
think it would be nice if we can help these by supporting this kind of 
small low level things (OpenGL vsync falls in the same category).
- OpenGL-es integration (maybe make it more or less transparent ?)
- I would be very interested in a generic offscreen buffer support (not 
a render to texture thing like in SDL 1.3, but really offscreen 
buffers). However, I'm not sure how well it fits into SDL.
