Comment (by kencu):

 I have had a fully-working slightly older libsdl2 for Tiger and Leopard in
 TigerPorts and LeopardPorts for years, as most know.

 https://github.com/kencu/TigerPorts/tree/master/devel/libsdl2

 The portfile is quite different (No 10.7 SDK forcing, etc etc etc).

 We had some discussions before about how to roll that into MacPorts, but
 could never come to an agreement about how to cleanly allow the older
 version and the needed change in patches to be incorporated into the
 current Portfile without making a total mess of it, so it was voted down.

 We talked about perhaps sourcing different Portfiles based on OS version,
 which would work, but it was pointed out that those would not be properly
 incorporated into the way portfiles are cached, so could not be
 considered.

 So -- these remain in TigerPorts and LeopardPorts.

 A completely new Port, like libsdl2-legacy or something, might be allowed
 -- I gave up on that a few years back, and just have all of it (and the
 things that can use this older version) in TigerPorts/LeoapardPorts.
