Re: SDL XS fixes

The answer is use DESTROY. And there was at one point a SDL::free  
method, but who knows if is still around.

Best advice on mem leaks is stop doing that. And by that I mean what  
your doing. You should never assume that it is safe to free anything  
when dealing with complex systems.

Typically in my apps I load everything at once and keep it around for  
the life of the app. I tend to prefer scratch buffers over relying an  
dynamic memory.
