Ok, Here's the basic SDL overview. 

BTW: Stephans seems to have some mail problems, so the MGL overview will
take a bit longer :(

I don't think so..

Yup, this is off of the main documentation page:

This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux,
Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces,
(for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to
your application.  This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely
portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.

(I'm open for suggestions for improvement. :)

See ya!
