There's nothing sad about it. There's only so much time in a day. 
I have no reason to do any Android development. Nor iPhone 
development. Nor countless other platforms.

The static binding configuration (see the docs [1]) *should* work 
for Android and will save you the time of implementing the 
bindings yourself. If you can compile DerelictSDL2 for Android 
using the DerelictSDL2_Static version, then link it and SDL2 with 
your app, it should work. All I'm saying is I've never tried it 
and I know of no one who has. If it works for you, or you can get 
it working, then we can tell the next person who comes along that 
it does work.
