Comment (by kencu):

 Using the 10.7 SDK on 10.6 has worked perfectly for years now -- SDL is
 written to do that, in the proper Apple way.

 However, they recently decided to drop support for 10.6, as they would
 inevitably do, and move the bar up. So we pegged libsdl2 at the last
 version for 10.6 that looked solid.

 Newer versions of SDL than the one we pegged for 10.6 already are highly
 unlikely to work properly, even if they miraculously build, because
 support was dropped and all the fallbacks and workarounds were being
 removed.

 You had postulated that perhaps a newer libsdl2 could be made to work
 properly on older systems by going through X11 and ignoring the Apple SDK
 limitations by not using the Apple APIs. This could possibly work -- last
 I heard, you were testing it to see if it did or did not actually
 function, as there is no point committing non-functional garbage into
 MacPorts port tree.
