Thanks for the heads up!

I will change this. However I would like to draw your attention to
the sdl-base, sdl-gfx, sdl-img, sdl-mixer and sdl-ttf eggs which
are the successors of this egg. The sdl egg in itself has become a
maintenance nightmare and will be retired "soon". (No worries, I
won't break your existing code).

Then you will also have more control over which library gets included.

Kind regards,

Christian
