I think it's fair enough for people to prefer SDL to VNC for a number

not sure exactly how to do it with SDL.

to be fair, that might not be an ideal solution. QEMU emulation currently requires frequent SIGALRM signals.
this means the application will not be able to use it for its own needs, and a *lot* of system calls are going to
randomly return EINTR, which a *lot* of code doesn't handle properly (*cough* *cough* libesd.so)
