DSSS isn't going to affect being able to use DerelictSDL on Mac. The 
problem is the fact that SDLmain can't really be used with a D 
executable, but it does some important setup on Mac. There are a couple 
of workarounds documented in the Derelict forum and people have been 
able to use DerelictSDL on Mac.

FWIW, SDL 1.3 does away with SDLmain altogether, so once it's released 
and Derelict updated this problem goes away.
