In other words, you do not have to write support for e.g. cocoa, curses
etc in qemu but can use libgii (the input part) and libggi (the output
part) to transparently use the I/O the host-system you are running on
does provide.

A variety of OS are supported, umong them linux, *BSD, MacOS, Windows,
etc.

Rediffed against current cvs.


Per default the path where ggi is searched for is /usr (your
distribution normally installs libraries there). If you happen to have
gii and ggi somewhere else, do e.g. this to install qemu in /opt/qemu

$ ./configure --ggi-path=/opt/ggi --prefix=/opt/qemu --cc=gcc-3.4 &&
make
