It is usable as a library! The API still needs a review pass before it 
can be declared stable for 1.0.0, though, because it wasn't initially 
considered as an external API and is still lacking in some areas, such 
as documentation.

What is missing for IDE based manipulation is just an SDL writer, which 
is planned for the next release. However, at least initially, that would 
have to be taken with a grain of salt, as it wouldn't preserve 
formatting and comments.
