summary: fix typo (assigning height value into displayrect.w instead of displayrect.h)
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!).

Subject: [SDL] minor bugfix for test/testoverlay2.c
Programs that use malloc ought to #include <stdlib.h> . On 32-bit systems you
can get away with not including it, but on 64-bit systems it will assume
malloc() returns a 32-bit integer and butcher the 64-bit pointers it returns.

Subject: SDL updates for the QNX6
1. Updated the README.QNX
2. Updated libtool scripts, which are shipped with SDL for QNX6 support.
3. Added some code to support the new QNX 6.3.0, which is in beta now.
4. Added code to detect the hw features, which driver supports.
5. Added hw alpha blits code.
6. Fixed bug when application switches to fullscreen more the 2 times. (afte\
r that window becames always stay on top).
7. Updated a bit README for the tests.
8. Added information about acceleration show in the testalpha.c test.
9. Added small fixes to the testoverlay2.c test.
10. Added alpha and cc+alpha blits benchmarks to the testvidinfo.c test.

Subject: SDL/QNX6 new patch
Here in attachment my patch for the SDL/QNX6 again :) It contain non-crtitical/cosmetic fixes:
1. Fixed window centering at other than the first consoles.
2. Fixed window centering algorithm in case when window height or width are greater than the desktop resolution.
3. Fixed window positioning on other than the first consoles.
4. Fixed occasional input focus lost when switching to fullscreen.
5. Removed the Photon's default chroma color for the overlays, added RGB(12, 6, 12) color instead (very dark pink).
6. Added more checks to the YUV overlay code (fixed crashes during resolution mode switches).
7. Added support for Enter/Backspace keys in unicode mode (used by Maelstrom and by other games).
8. Fixed window restore/maximize function. It works, finally.

Subject: New test for overlays
While writting QNX Photon Overlay code I've found that the existent overlay test application is not enough, it performs too artificial tests - it always moves/resizes the overlay's viewport, but in the real life that happens very rare. So I decided to write new test (commonly base on testoverlay.c code) and called it testoverlay2 :)
moose.dat - raw 8 bit paletted data of the small movie. (It was a moose.gif, also included in the attachment as reference, but not needed for this test, it is just for information). I cannot find, who created this .gif, so no credits this time :) But over inet I saw this gif zillion times, so I think we do not infringing somebody rights :)
