I'v been thinking about a generic emulator as well. The idea is similar to SAX,
an event based XML interface. If you consider the I/O as a stream with embedded
control sequences, all you need is a parser which filters out these sequences,
and calls registered callbacks, synchronized with the rest of the stream.
Whatever the client does with that stream and the callbacks, is irrelevant at
this point.
