Question about SDL - SGE library

Hey guys,

To be honest I know absolutely nothing about this library other than 
that it's used by Eversion and, to my knowledge, nothing else:

http://www.flibitijibibo.com/index.php?page=Portfolio/Ports#02_eversion.txt

As noted by the GitHub commit log, I just updated the Makefile for 
Linux64 and OSX... I don't even know if I ever read any of the actual 
source!

I wouldn't worry about packaging this library, to be honest - I 
genuinely don't think any software uses it, and until it's updated for 
SDL2 it probably won't get used by new software (to be fair, I might 
actually do that to pretty up Eversion for SteamOS if it's requested of 
me). But, if you still need some upstream location, I _think_ my 
repository is the latest version out there.
