[SGVLUG] Soliciting short talks for May

[James McDuffie]

I think your package looks fine the way it is laid out. Your using
autotools. Its okay not to understand it completely, because I don't
know anyone who does. I tried compiling it and it failed to find SDL,
although I have it installed. So yeah its not completely right. You
might want to consider CMake. You might find it easier to set up than
autotools. Its my preferred build system and I believe its growing more
popular. It has a bunch of stuff built in, such as a FindSDL routine.
And there are plenty of modules out there for finding other packages.
