+Bits of possibly less-than-obvious advice:
+
+archutils/ contains arch-specific code.  This should contain code
+shared by more than one arch/ driver.
+
+arch/ contains drivers for specific features that can be better
+implemented nonportably.  Most drivers (all except sound) contain
+default, portable implementations, so StepMania should work mostly
+out-of-the-box on platforms that are supported by the supporting
+libraries (particularly SDL); only a sound driver needs to be
+written.
+
+
+Avoid accessing other singleton classes from singleton destructors.  That
+introduces dependencies on the order of destruction, and can cause problems
+if one of the singletons throws an exception.

+
+This kills VC:
+
+template<class T> static void YY( T opt ) { }
+enum { A } a;
+enum { A1 } b;
+void XX() { YY(a); YY(b); }
+
+foo.obj : fatal error LNK1179: invalid or corrupt file: duplicate COMDAT '?YY@@YAXW4__unnamed@@@Z'
+
+It mangles the template incorrectly.  Solution: don't use anonymous
+enums as template parameters; give them a name.
