Good work. Personally do not use SDL, but it's good to know when someone needs the headers. Do these work with FPC?

Thx! They were made for Delphi, and I've not tested with FPC. Of the top of my head, you would have to remove ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown, and remove the dotted unit names in the uses sections and use replacement routines for the ones I call from System.IOUtils and in theory it should work. It's win64 only.
