Linux tarballs, both of Custom and of packaged games, should include SDL and
SDL_mixer libraries, as these are not installed by default in many/most distros.
I'm surprised how frequently I've lately been getting complaints of the engine
not running on Linux, so I think this is a high priority. This has become much
more common since people started uploading games to itch.io.
SDL_mixer depends on other libraries like libogg, but these are all very likely
to already be installed on the system, plus it can be compiled to link to these
libraries at runtime. We should provide builds that use runtime linking so that
they can at least execute and show an error message.
