sdl12-compat 1.2.64

What is this?

This is the release of version 1.2.64 of sdl12-compat. This is an official, stable release, and everyone is encouraged to upgrade. This release remains API and ABI compatible with previous releases of sdl12-compat (and, of course, with previous releases of classic SDL 1.2, as well).

TESTING IS STILL WELCOME FOR FUTURE RELEASES.

A list of known SDL 1.2 apps is here. Some tips on testing are in HOW_TO_TEST_GAMES.md. Please jump in and try things!
