 The SDL maintainers are planning to switch its versioning scheme to look
 more like GTK's, making use of the minor version to indicate feature
 releases with backwards-compatible changes. See https://github.com/libsdl-
 org/SDL/blob/main/docs/README-versions.md for the new versioning scheme.

 This means the version progression for stable releases will now go
 something like this: ..., 2.0.20, 2.0.22, 2.24.0, 2.24.1, 2.26.0, ...

 As a result, the pkg-config check for `sdl2 >= 2.0.1 sdl2 < 2.1.0` in
 ffmpeg should just be `sdl2 >= 2.0.1`, to allow use of future stable
 releases.

 The intention is that the first release that is not backwards-compatible
 with SDL 2.0.0 will be labelled as SDL 3, and won't ship sdl2.pc any more.
