Git format-patch, can you declare in the commit that you are assigning it
to me? You can email it through git or GitHub.

This will make binding sdl image lib easier as well. 

I would like to have an Ada stream interface but I don't think that will be
possible.

Yeah I've been thinking more about this recently as I want to keep this
binding matching the libsdl license and if they change it, it'll be s pain.
I doubt they will as libsdl2 used to be pure GPL.

You see, AdaCore generated a thin binding and then slapped a GPL license,
no exception, which was stupid and really insulting.

I want to make sure this stays as free as possible and be the best binding
there is.
