>Description:
  Very little code distributed on the net actually compiles against the
  SDL port because for some reason the port installs into
  /usr/local/include/SDLNN, where NN is a version number instead of
  /usr/local/include/SDL. A symlink to maintain compatibility would be very
  nice.
>How-To-Repeat:
  Install libSDL from ports and try to compile any SDL example code from
  the net.
  # cd /usr/ports/devel/sdl12 && make install
>Fix:
  # ln -s /usr/local/include/SDL11 /usr/local/include/SDL

  The makefile could make this change automatically, perhaps asking
  the user if it should (when more than one version of SDL is being used
  on the system).
