Well, what I do know is that everything needed to do what DC does, graphically, is fairly easy to do with SDL and OpenGL. I do have some very simple code lying around somewhere that does a rather similar 3D view, which is pretty much just what I've ended up with after experimenting with things while trying to learn some OpenGL. I'm not much familiar with the DC source though, so I've no idea how much work it'd actually be. I wouldn't be surprised if it at least wasn't that much more work than "just" porting to SDL or some such.
