I had some hope that we wouldn't have to touch libsdl1.2 much, but the
migration to libsdl2 is not going as fast as I would like / expect.

So I guess that it's better to drop this dependency at some point before
the freeze.

If this becomes more high priority for some reason, e.g. because of a
pending RM of libdirectfb, please let us know.


Cheers.
