How about making opengl optional so we have some interface for drawing and 2 implementations - One with current SDL and one with GL. Then just initialize openGL if it is present. This could be done using subsystem manager that gives game code access to subsystem object. I don't know how easy this could be implement so that it is completely transparent outside subsystem implementation. But I think this kind of desing would give possibility to support wider range of systems. We could make subsystems that use more resources on faster computers.
