SDL for Slate on Win2k

[Lyndon Tremblay]

SDL_gfxPrimitives is out of date, it is from an older version of SDL
(possibly beta/cvs). I've removed the deprecated locally, but not darcs, nor
in a patchable format. Perhaps, if it isn't straightforward enough for
someone else to do it, I'll clean up what I have on SDL as well.
(setVideoWidth:Height:Bpp: -> setVideoWidth:height:bpp:flags: for example)
