Due to the in-progress GL acceleration work for QEMU, we went ahead and released the chroot+Xephyr SDK. It has its limitations but is fast for those with the right system configuration. Also, Xephyur has DRI2 support and GL acceleration (moderately fast, not perfect). As Veli mentioned, the cross-platform solution is in progress.
