This relies on a successful SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) to work, since it's
silly to reproduce all the Xinerama/XRandR code in the message box parts. If
X11 is available but SDL hasn't been initialized, the message box will center
in the primary screen, which will be positioned weirdly on multi-head setups,
but this should fix the most significant common case.

fix 14dd48ae5bc43b61b2a0dd0b3177d22edec707ef regression
The window manager detection code in X11_HasWindowManager does not work
with Awesome (http://awesome.naquadah.org/). Remove it, and reuse the
result of the more correct checks in X11_CheckWindowManager.

When inputting text, dead-keys are currently not handled correctly on Windows with the latest SDL2 tip as well as the 2.0.3 release.
Using a French AZERTY keyboard, when I type the `^` key followed by `e` key to compose the `` character, I erroneously get two SDL_TEXTINPUT events, one with the `^` character and one with the `e` character.
I've looked at the history for SDL_windowsevents.c and there's been some back-and-forth with several methods for handling text input:
* r8142 removed any handling of WM_CHAR because keyboard input was being handled through WM_KEYDOWN along with ToUnicode since r7645.
* But using ToUnicode actually breaks dead-keys (googling for "ToUnicode dead keys" reports many horror stories of people trying to work around that and failing).
* It seems like r7645 introduced a double-fix: it fixed WM_CHAR to properly handle Unicode, and also (unnecessarily?) added text input handling to WM_KEYDOWN. Later, r8142 removed the WM_CHAR stuff instead of the WM_KEYDOWN stuff.
The attached patch restores handling of text input through WM_CHAR and removes it from WM_KEYDOWN. I've tested it with French, English and Russian layouts and it seems to do its job. Obviously, with such matters, it's still a risky change.
Sometimes, on removal SDL_EVDEV_udev_callback() gets called with zero udev_class. This in turn seems to be caused the SDL_udev.c:guess_device_class() failing to find the attributes of the parent device.
Apparently this is normal, attributes are not guaranteed to be in place during removal, depending on timing. This lack of attributes causes guess_device_class() to return zero.
This fix mimics the code in linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:joystick_udev_callback() which effectively has the same fix already in place.
- disable compiling in XAudio2 support. We both need the DX SDK to make this code plus we need to work out the runtime dependency problem this code bring in on windows (needing the DX runtime installed).

- do the scancode to keyboard code lookup for the grave key, so that we can show users the correct keyface for the key, rather than forcing it to "`". Note that if a game is using SDLK_* for its KB mapping then after this change on some keyboards the top left key will no longer be mapped correctly with the old data.

It loses the title and icon when window recreation fails. For instance, this may happen when trying to create an OpenGL ES window on a system that doesn't support it. But at that point, the title and icon have already been lost.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().

When setting a texture alpha mod other than 255 and also specifying a flip mode in the software renderer, the rendering fails. When the texture has an alpha channel, it becomes invisible when flipped. When the texture does not have an alpha channel, it is flipped but the colors are wrong: the alpha mod makes the texture darker rather than more translucent.
0) Initialize a software renderer.
1) Load 16-bit 565 or 32-bit texture.
2) Set texture blend mode to BLEND.
3) Set texture alpha mod to 150.
4) Draw the texture flipped horizontally and/or vertically.

There are three problems in the code that I see.
1. SW_RenderCopyEx enables a color key on surface_scaled even if the source surface didn't have a color key.
2. SW_RenderCopyEx doesn't copy blend mode, color mod, or alpha mod from src to surface_scaled.
3. When SDL_BlitScaled(src, srcrect, surface_scaled, &tmp_rect) is called, it blends the src pixels into surface_scaled instead of overwriting them (if src has blending, etc. enabled).
I've attached a patch that 1) fixes the three problems that I mentioned, 2) adds the requested performance improvement of using the regular blit function if no rotation or flipping is needed, 3) avoids cloning the source surface if no stretching is required, and simplifies the rotation code slightly.

Okay, here is the problem, I think.
During the first blit, RLEAlphaSurface is called to do RLE conversion of the RGBA source into a format allowing it "to be quickly alpha-blittable onto dest". Since the destination is the screen, it has no alpha channel. RLEAlphaSurface calls copy_opaque(dst, src + runstart, len, sf, df) (where copy_opaque is copy_32), which has this code:
SDL_RLEaccel.c:984:
RGBA_FROM_8888(*src, sfmt, r, g, b, a);
PIXEL_FROM_RGBA(*d, dfmt, r, g, b, a);
On the first line, it reads the source pixel 0xFFFFFFFF. The second line drops the alpha value (because dfmt for the screen has no alpha channel) and writes 0x00FFFFFF. Later, when the RLE conversion is being undone, uncopy_32 is called, which has the following code:
SDL_RLEaccel.c:1001:
Uint32 pixel = *s++;
RGB_FROM_PIXEL(pixel, sfmt, r, g, b);
a = pixel >> 24;
PIXEL_FROM_RGBA(*dst, dfmt, r, g, b, a);
However, the the alpha channel has already been dropped by copy_opaque (= copy_32), so pixel = 0x00FFFFFF and 'a' becomes 0. Thus, all opaque pixels lose their alpha channel when being unRLE'd. (I don't know what happens to pixels with alpha from 1-254, but they should be checked too.)
So, that seems to be the problem, but I'm not sure what the solution should be. Since opaque pixels have alpha == 255, I'm thinking to create another uncopy function for opaque pixels that simply uses 255 for alpha.
However, there may be other problems here. For translucent pixels, uncopy_32 assumes the alpha channel is stored in the upper 8 bits, but copy_32 doesn't store it there. Instead, it stores it in whatever location is appropriate for the destination surface. Isn't one of their behaviors incorrect, given the other? I'm not sure which to change, however.
For translucent pixels, it seems that the blit function uses do_blend, which is the BLIT_TRANSL_888 macro, which also assumes alpha is in top 8 bits. It has the comment "we have made sure the alpha is stored in the top 8 bits...", but it seems that's not true (copy_32 doesn't make sure the alpha goes there).
Perhaps the correct fix is to make copy_32 put the alpha there, but then that seems to require that RLE conversion be limited to destination surfaces that don't use the upper 8 bits. However, looking further, it seems that has already been done: if (masksum != 0x00ffffff) return -1; /* requires unused high byte */
