Question about backends

[Mario Torre]

Hi Arjanen,

The DirectFB backend is currently still closed source. We are working
on a Free Software replacement but at this moment I can't tell you
when this will be ready.

There is an SDL backend, which it's very uncomplete, and probably
doesn't fully work anymore, but it's still very good as a
tutorial-like peer for new Cacio developers so we keep it around.

You can also give a look at the web and test backend, which are the
most complete peers, but probably the SDL is the best place to start.

Of course, if you have any question, we will be very happy to help you!

Cheers,
Mario
