SDL target?

[Adam Megacz]

I noticed that libSDL has a threads API.  This is interesting.
Getting threads and mutexes working is a big part of moving libgcj to
a new platform, and the SDL folks put a lot of effort into platform
coverage.  This would even make AWT easier.

SDL doesn't really qualify as a "target" for gcc, since it doesnt
specify any of the things gcc cares about (instruction set, etc).  But
a lot of libgcj's native methods could be written as calls to libSDL,
which would give us "ports for free".

Plus SDL is gaining popularity for gaming/embedded platforms, which
typically don't have any existing JVM.
