 *  Official documentation for SDL configuration variables
 *
 *  This file contains functions to set and get configuration hints,
 *  as well as listing each of them alphabetically.
 *
 *  The convention for naming hints is SDL_HINT_X, where "SDL_X" is
 *  the environment variable that can be used to override the default.
 *
 *  In general these hints are just that - they may or may not be
 *  supported or applicable on any given platform, but they provide
 *  a way for an application or user to give the library a hint as
 *  to how they would like the library to work.

 *  This variable can be set to the following values:
 *    "0"       - Disable 3D acceleration
 *    "1"       - Enable 3D acceleration, using the default renderer.
 *    "X"       - Enable 3D acceleration, using X where X is one of the valid rendering drivers.  (e.g. "direct3d", "opengl", etc.)

 *  By default SDL tries to make a best guess for each platform whether
