ACE has a very liberal license and lots of nice cross-platform abstractions concerning threads, communications, file i/o, etc.

I also have a question about SDL, does it require the whole screen (like most games?) or can it run inside a standard Win32/MacOSX/X11 window alongside other standard applications? (Please add your answer
to the FAQ!)

Either. Depends on if the programmer asked for fullscreen or not.
(Typically, the ends up being an option for the end user. In my games,
I provide a “–fullscreen” switch.)
