 NOTES:
 - This includes all the audio targets except arts, because Ubuntu pulled the 
   artsc0-dev package, but in theory SDL still supports it.
+- libsamplerate0-dev lets SDL optionally link to libresamplerate at runtime
+  for higher-quality audio resampling. SDL will work without it if the library
+  is missing, so it's safe to build in support even if the end user doesn't
+  have this library installed.
 - DirectFB isn't included because the configure script (currently) fails to find
   it at all. You can do "sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-dev" and fix the 
   configure script to include DirectFB support. Send patches.  :)
