Mmh, I've been rewritting the whole CE code lately to reuse the SDL backend,
it's almost ready but I'd like to test it a bit more, and drop support for
the old code in 0.6.0 - it'd be perfect for me if the branch is done after
this week-end (but if you don't want to have a strict branch, you can do it
sooner as all my changes should be restricted to the CE backend).

Otherwise, all engines should be OK, but I didn't test the mpeg2 playback
yet.

I've noticed that a Vorbis stream encoded at 22 kHz lags a bit on the
slowest devices (such as the SPV Smartphone).

I've not tested any game on ARM yet, but I'm sure the PocketMatrix users
will be happy to replay them :)
