Oh, I see - you're still using SDLmain, but it's standard SDLmain, not a
patched SDLmain? My solution doesn't involve SDLmain at all, that was
the point. It does the required initialisation on Mac OS X by itself. Or
at least it does some of it - maybe my crash is because I'm not
initialising something that I should be, I don't know.

According to Sam Lantinga, SDLmain.c is public domain, but I can't find
any definitive references to SDLmain.m being public domain, and that's
the file we really care about for Mac OS X. So IMO SDLmain.m's licencing
status is unclear. It's for this reason that I've constructed my own,
independent solution.
