Otherwise, we are using the allocator before the app can set up its own hooks.
Now we use VirtualAlloc, and WideCharToMultiByte (because SDL_iconv uses
SDL_malloc, too!) to get ready to call into SDL_main.
This also makes console_wmain() call into the same routines as everything
else, so we don't have to deal with those allocations, too. Hopefully we
end up with the same results from GetCommandLine() as we do in wargv.
Fixes Bugzilla #4340.

This eliminates the need to manually compile in SDL_main_android.c.
Instead, add "-lSDL2main -Wl,-u,SDL_main_dummy" when linking.
I don't know how the nkd-build process works, but unless it was
for some reason linking libSDL2main.a it should be unaffected.

Apparently, SDL2 on Haiku does not generate SDL_TEXTINPUT events.
Attached is a patch that adds this functionality.
Tested with SDLs own checkkeys program and different keymaps as well as my own SDL application and German keyboard layout to verify it generates the expected input.

There are currently three entry points in the SDL2_main code for windows: main, wmain and WinMain. Only the latter two properly convert the arguments to UTF-8.
Console applications linked with MSVC will always link with the main entry point (wmain has to be selected by manually setting the entry point). This makes it likely that such programs will not have proper unicode arguments.
Simon Hug
The SDLmain file src/main/windows/SDL_windows_main.c defines both entry points for console applications, main and wmain. This seems to confuse MSVC. It outputs a LNK4067 warning and then chooses main, which is a shame because only wmain has the unicode handling. Using SDLmain.lib provided on libsdl.org, the linker also goes for main.
I'm proposing to not define the main entry point at all. wmain should be supported well enough with MSVC.

The function console_wmain in src/main/windows/SDL_windows_main.c does not null terminate the argument list it is creating. As specified by the C standard, "argv[argc] shall be a null pointer."
The SDLTest framework makes use of that null pointer and some test programs can cause an access violation because it's missing.
This workaround, unfortunately, requires that apps directly link to a set of
Win32-style cursor resource files (that contain a transparent cursor image).
Copies of suitable resource files are in src/core/winrt/, and should be
included directly in an app's MSVC project.
A rough explanation of this workaround/hack, and why it's needed (and
seemingly can't be done through programmatic means), is in this change's code.
This allows us to set an explicit stack size (overriding the system default
and the global hint an app might have set), and remove all the macro salsa
for dealing with _beginthreadex and such, as internal threads always set those
to NULL anyhow.
I've taken some guesses on reasonable (and tiny!) stack sizes for our
internal threads, but some of these might turn out to be too small in
practice and need an increase. Most of them are simple functions, though.

Just a minor thing, but a huge outcome. All the other jni related functions already have those flags, but the nativeInit function lacks them - so it might be stripped away.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
