 * is cancelled.
 *
 * To cancel a currently running timer, call SDL_SetTimer(0, NULL);
 *
 * The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your
 * main code, and so shouldn't call any functions from within itself.
 *
 * The maximum resolution of this timer is 10 ms, which means that if
 * you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
 * later on an unloaded system.  If you wanted to set a flag signaling
 * a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a 
 * timer for 30 ms:
 *   SDL_SetTimer((33/10)*10, flag_update);
 *
 * If you use this function, you need to pass SDL_INIT_TIMER to SDL_Init().
 *
 * Under UNIX, you should not use raise or use SIGALRM and this function
 * in the same program, as it is implemented using setitimer().  You also
 * should not use this function in multi-threaded applications as signals
 * to multi-threaded apps have undefined behavior in some implementations.
 *
 * This function returns 0 if successful, or -1 if there was an error.
