I'm aware of the issues--already butting my head against some of them in fact--and I'm planning on doing a lot of the work in OpenGL. And apparently the next SDL release is going to have better encapsulated support for OpenGL, which will make things a lot easier. Thanks.

A wise thing to do may be to investigate Open GL and use it within SDL for rotations, etc. It might not work perfectly on every computer, but it's an idea and the only real thing I've found that would be capable of getting everything you want out of it. Best of luck!
