No, it isn't pointless. I do understand what you're saying.
For me, having SDL on Windows is a great feature, and not one I want in 
a "release" until it is complete, the way you're doing it.

The only disagreement I have here is the "pointlessness" which is 
totally pointless to argue about since I don't want a half assed sdl 
port in this release.
