I appreciate the help but I'm not sure if you understand what it is I'm
trying to do.
SetFlag() and GetFlag() do binary operations on the flags controling an
SDL Surface.
Passing the BitMask to the GetFlag() will return weither or not the bit
is on in the flags variable.
Passing the BitMask and a boolean will turn on / off the bit in the
flags variable.
I wanted to provide shortcuts to GetFlag(SDL_SWSurface) and
SetFlag(SDL_Surface, TRUE) so you could say: SWSurface := TRUE;
If I understand correctly Indexed properties have to be signed interger
type... which would ruin the bitwise comparison because the Bit Mask is
a Unsigned integer type.
