Apologies for the double post - but don't forget that SDL and OpenGL
in combination will allows you access to any 3D acceleration on the
machine - which can make 2D drawing better.  So, SDL by itself is for
2D graphics, SDL + OpenGL can be used for 3D or is some cases fast 2D.

worrying about other aspects fo the program.  SDL + OpenGL gives you
fast convienient access to 3D.
