The thread ID is an unsigned long so it can hold pthread_t so people can do naughty things with it.
I'm going to be adding additional useful thread API functions, but this should prevent crashes in people's existing code on 64-bit architectures.
The current SVN trunk is missing the SDLCALL specifier at numerous locations.
It has to be added for all (possibly user provided) callbacks.
I stumbled over this while creating a makefile for the OpenWatcom compiler for
Win32.
if SDL is built with a non-cdecl calling convention, and it's just generally
bad practice anyhow.
Now programs explicitly call SDL_Quit() where appropriate, wrap SDL_Quit() in
a cdecl function where it can't be avoided, and rely on the parachute where
a crash might have hit the atexit() before (these ARE test programs, after
all!).
