Fixed bug 1336 - Added a timestamp on all SDL events

Gueniffey 2011-11-23 04:11:31 PST

The attached simple patch adds a timestamp to all SDL events. It is useful to
dismiss old events and add UI responsiveness (my application does some
extensive tasks that creates a delay in the event queue handling. With this
patch, I can deal only with the most recent events.
