Hm, yes, maybe.  I  just split things up to avoid having
one big list of SDKs, and I believed it was making sense,
most libs are for instance gfx-only.  I guess there will some
day be sound only libs or so as well.  I dont know.

Well, my intention was just to hack up the existing page with some
of the more recent infos.  While doing this I thought this (the SDK)
page was supposed to be a general overview, with the comparison
page being the place for such matrices or completion percentages...
I dunno, maybe the original designers can comment on this,
what should be placed where ?  The matrix is definitely a good
idea..
