Right now, the Android accelerometer event handler feeds raw accelerometer data to the SDL Joystick driver. The result is that for landscape-only applications, the axis need to be swapped if running on a portrait device (like a phone), and vice-versa: running a portrait only app on a landscape device like a tablet.
The purpose of this patch is to perform coordinate remapping of the accelerometer data before feeding it to the SDL joystick driver so that the X axis of the joystick is always aligned with the X axis of the display, same for the Y axis.
This has been tested on applications that support screen orientation changes as well as applications with fixed screen orientations, both on phones and tablets.

SDL_dxjoystick.c is setting the classguid for device (dis)connect events to USB Devices in general:
dbh.dbcc_classguid = GUID_DEVINTERFACE_USB_DEVICE;
Wouldn't it make more sense to have it just subscribe to Hid device events? This would mean less meaningless events reaching the application.

Revision eecbcfed77c9 of the SDL hg repo introduces the new
SDL_GetSystemRAM() function, which breaks the build on FreeBSD. Find
attached a patch, which unbreaks the build and also should (for most
cases) properly implement the sysctl support it.

Fixes the version check for some functions that are only present with the MSVC 2013 CRT libraries.
I did my testing wrong and failed to see that 2012 doesn't have these functions. Microsoft implemented them in their upcoming 2013 version, though. The attached patch changes it to the check for the next version.
I also removed the HAVE_ITOA because that would require linking with oldnames.lib and it's easier to just let the SDL implementation take over.

There's a whole set of configure tests for BSD's libusbhid, and they only matter on BSD. However, if you have the library on Linux, it gets pulled in as library bloat. And it's bloat of the highest order since not a single function call to the library is ever made unless you're on a *BSD.

This patch to Android.mk adds support for static linking of libSDL for Android applications. A patched readme with static build instructions is also provided.
It does not break existing build environments setup according to the README-android.txt since the static library version will not be built in not required.
The static build uses the Android NDK module system (see docs/IMPORT-MODULE.html in the NDK folder and step 5 in the instructions below).
Instructions:
1. Copy the android-project directory wherever you want to keep your projects
and rename it to the name of your project.
2. Create a symlink to SDL/src/main/android/SDL_android_main.c as
<project>/jni/src/SDL_android_main.c
3. Rename <project>/jni/src/Android_static.mk to <project>/jni/src/Android.mk
(overwrite the existing one)
4. Edit <project>/jni/src/Android.mk to include your source files
5. create and export an environment variable named NDK_MODULE_PATH that points
to the parent directory of this SDL directory. e.g.:
export NDK_MODULE_PATH="$PWD"/..
6. Edit <project>/src/org/libsdl/app/SDLActivity.java and remove the call to
System.loadLibrary("SDL2") line 42.
7. Run 'ndk-build' (a script provided by the NDK). This compiles the C source
Although this requires an environment variable to be setup, it can be added once and for all to the main Android.mk of the project.

As discussed (possibly to death), the Linux joystick driver does not actually report events for added or removed joysticks when you haven't got udev support.
We simply cannot know about removed joysticks without udev. But we can (and we should) report adding them. This brings the legacy case in line with pretty much the rest of SDL's joystick drivers.
This reverts http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7cdeb64faa72 and fixes it in
the correct way. If you call SDL_SetWindowPosition on a fullscreen
window, it would update the x & y variables for the window, but not
actually move the window (since it was fullscreen). That would make the
internal state of the SDL_Window incorrect, causing
SDL_WarpMouseInWindow to offset incorrectly.
This makes it so SDL_SetWindowPosition updates the `windowed' x & y
coordinates, which take effect when you revert from fullscreen.

Some of the tests keep using the pointers of a destroyed SDL_Window when the common event handling handled the close event. The event handler itself does not NULL the pointer after the destruction.
The attached patch adds a loop in the handler that will assign NULL to the destroyed window. It also adds checks to some of the tests so they skip those windows by checking for NULL.
On Android available touch devices are now added with video initialization (like
the keyboard). This fixes SDL_GetNumTouchDevices() returning 0 before any touch
events happened although there is a touch screen available. The adding of touch
devices after a touch event was received is still active to allow connecting
devices later (if this is possible) and to provide a fallback if the new init
did not work somehow. For the implementation JNI was used and API level 9 is
required. There seems to be nothing in the Android NDK's input header (input.h)
to implement everything on C side without communication with Java side.
