The SDL interface is much faster than the TCL interface, which is one
reason why it gives a smoother player experience. As for customizing the
interface, anything is possible. But there is a lot of work to do just to
get it into a playable shape.

Under Unix or MacOS you can load any game by using the command line, e.g.
"-g advances", when you launch XconqSDL. This is true also for the Curses
application. I haven't had time to check if the command line code works
under Windows, but it should not be too hard to fix if it doesn't.
