The best solution would be to define an API for qemu. There is a library that
qemu uses, and this library can be compiled to use OSX Gui, Win32 GUI,
X lib, GTK, SDL (which should be decapriated), microX, Qt, wxWidgets, etc.

Basicly, the library is just a set of stubs that, when compiled w/ the right
#define, call the functions of the main library.
