[Ohrrpgce] Broken Linux build

[Ralph Versteegen]

The 32/64 bit Linux build failed again. It looks like the VMs have libsdl2
2.0.3 or earlier.
I suppose we should build the releases with "scons sdl203=1" to target
2.0.3 instead of 2.0.5, that'll make them more likely to run (e.g. on
Ubuntu 16.04). Right now the features enabled when targeting 2.0.5 are
quite minor, so it doesn't seem worth it.

If we link to libsdl at runtime, then we could get the best of all worlds
by using SDL features only if present.
Another idea is to eventually include libsdl[2].so and libsdl[2]_mixer.so
with games packaged for linux.
