Can't speak for cl-sdl, but lispbuilder-sdl is alive and kicking. And the
bindings are nicer than pygame, in my humble opinion.

I wouldn't use lispbuilder-opengl, but lispbuilder-sdl interoperates nicely
with cl-opengl. That's what I'm using for the new version of Blackthorn 0.2.
There's a (very) short example for using lispbuilder-sdl and cl-opengl up on
the lispbuilder wiki:
