Updating libsdl2 to this version needs at least a another upload to
libsdl2-net, not sure about the other modules.

They didn't release the others though, not even libsdl2-net, so I
asked upstream a few days ago to do releases compatible with 2.0.1 of
the main library (picking specific patches is more cumbersome and
error-prone, e.g. if the patch does not apply cleanly or interacts
with other commits not picked up).  I didn't get any reply yet.

I will try to upload it soon, if other members of the SDL team don't
beat me to it.


Cheers.
