Nice! I'm sure we all want to see it :)
However, for the "real" plex86 video stuff, we probably want to have
SDL support though a separate plugin, as opposed to a backend for
BOCHS. BOCHS is not really suitable (in its current form) for
supporting hardware-accelerated custom drivers. It's (mostly) the
hardware accelleration that makes us want to use SDL!!
I've looked a bit at the SDL page and I really like it. It appears
to support 2d and 3d acceleration in a pretty platform-independant
way. I guess we should use it..
