At least one of the BSD VMs in tests/vm/ is still using SDL1.2. I think we should update that VM before we drop SDL1.2 support. (This is probably just a matter of updating the VM image that is currently stored on patchew somewhere. It would also be nice if our test infra here had a mechanism for regenerating that VM image from scratch rather than just being "here's a disk image blob...")
