Good question. If there are any users interested in SDL on this list, 
please speak up.

I understand your objection for the SDL port was to support the webOS 
touchpad. One problem here is, as I understand it, that webOS is a dead 
platform. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, we currently have a few other ports in the "uiports" directoy:

see qtreadme.txt for info on the Qt/X11 uiport
see qtereadme.txt for info on the Qt embeded uiport
see svgareadme.txt for info on the svga uiport
see nanoxreadme.txt for info on the nanox uiport

Anyone interested in these? My gut feeling is that no one uses these, so 
it would make more sense to remove them.

I think it would be best if you could use the existing "uiports" 
structure.
