Safari's default rendering without change encoding manually

SDL_image website has following issues:

1. It is encoded in Latin-1 but neither server header or HTML meta information is present to user agent, so that it at least confuses Safari (Safari defaults to UTF-8 and doesn't seem to do automatic encoding detection) and results in something like the attached image.

2. It contains line like "<!--#include file="../../header.inc.php" -->". I guess it tries to do server-side include but that fails.

3. The HTML tags used are very outdated, for example <font> is already deprecated in HTML 4. Given the fact that http://www.libsdl.org is valid HTML5 according to http://validator.w3.org , I guess it should receive some update.

4. The Documentation links to 1.2 docs. 

5. It looks retro, this may be a feature.

BTW1, other SDL_* websites have similar issues.

BTW2, I cannot select 2.0.0 Version in bug report, I guess it's time to add 2.0.x versions.

This was fixed on the main site awhile ago, but these are worth cleaning up for SDL_mixer, etc.
