+Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
+to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
+hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
+emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
+and many Humble Bundle games.
+
+More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting
+with README.md
