Bring in a simple SDL2 demo for completeness. It's running in a main.cpp to test SDL2 in C++.

 2. Run setup.ps1
 3. `meson compile -C builddir`
 4. `meson install -C builddir`  -- Careful with this, it might install stuff in unwanted areas. On my computer it put them in `C:\` but I have to read the instructions on how to set the install location.

 I'll have more extensive instructions in a later blog post, but if you have time try this out and let me know how it went at help@learncodethehardway.com.  Please let me know if you tried a different compiler, Windows version, etc.  If you're on OSX or Linux it should work the same but Linux people might want to use their package manager instead.
