      That I can't agree with. Why do you say 'for Windows in priority' ? To touch a

     I agree, I think the client should be cross-platform compatible. SDL would
be a great idea. I can't say the same for ClanLib, as unlike SDL, ClanLib
has a lot of dependencies on other, external libraries (try compiling a
ClanLib-based game; you have to install at least one or two other sets of
libraries that the game uses). SDL is great tho'
