SDL is a C API, so can be used from any language that lets you invoke a C API (eg most .NET lanuages through P/Invoke, but there's a .NET version in Tao.SDL anyway).

Okay...in your post prior to that you said nothing about timeGetTime being portable.

It isn't, but if you'd chosen that one-liner together with gettimeofday from the start over a month ago, then all would have been working well.

Sry, I'm one of those "as few silly little dependencies as possible"

Uhmm I am one too, but that doesn't excuse the fact that SDL is already ported to 10+ platforms, and that I am not just using it for timing.

Also I just posted about it in case someone else needed the answer. I have been using it for ~month already.
