+# Locate SDL_NET library
+#
+# This module defines:
+#
+# ::
+#
+#   SDL2_NET_LIBRARIES, the name of the library to link against
+#   SDL2_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find the headers
+#   SDL2_NET_FOUND, if false, do not try to link against
+#   SDL2_NET_VERSION_STRING - human-readable string containing the version of SDL_NET
+#
+#
+#
+# For backward compatibility the following variables are also set:
+#
+# ::
+#
+#   SDLNET_LIBRARY (same value as SDL2_NET_LIBRARIES)
+#   SDLNET_INCLUDE_DIR (same value as SDL2_NET_INCLUDE_DIRS)
+#   SDLNET_FOUND (same value as SDL2_NET_FOUND)
+#
+#
+#
+# $SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
+# ./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL.
+#
+# Created by Eric Wing.  This was influenced by the FindSDL.cmake
+# module, but with modifications to recognize OS X frameworks and
+# additional Unix paths (FreeBSD, etc).

 CMake itself comes with corresponding scripts for SDL 1.2, which hopefully in
 time will be updated for SDL2 and make this repo redundant. In the mean
