I've narrowed the odd cursor-jumping problem I'm having down to some weird issue with calling `sdl-config --cflags` and `sdl-config --libs` in Build.PL's first few lines. Gonna try just plugging in the values it wants, and see if that fairs any better.
BTW, Chromatic, the link to the snapshot seems to give me a much older version than is availiable from CPAN. CPAN=2.1.0, Snapshot=1.20.3. I tried that one, but it also fails building. I also tried the PPM package DH made, which kinda-sorta works on my system. On the test scripts that it will even run, they either crash before the screen appears, or when you close the program. On those that don't run, it says I'm missing a few AutoLoad files. What version of the package was the PPM created with (I should be able to get the autoload files out of that, right?)
