Possible, certainly. Simple? That's a different question :-) In general I would favour trying to clean up QEMU's code so that it is less interdependent (which would make it I think easier to maintain and test, as well as potentially easier to use in other contexts); but I think we need to try to tackle that gradually and doing the easier bits of disentangling first. thanks -- PMM
