Misc

If the project won't build because certain SDL library headers cannot be found (e.g. sdl_mixer.h or sdl_net.h), try copying them from the Headers folder into SDL's Headers folder. E.g. for sdl_mixer.h, copy it from /Library/Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Headers to /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers.
