What specifically, do you consider to be overkill? Are you afraid of
the performance overhead of VNC? Is the lack of VNC clients a problem
(assuming you don't want a gtk dependency)?
I think it's fair enough for people to prefer SDL to VNC for a number
of reasons. But why not just allow them to embed the qemu SDL window
in their application ? This is definitely possible in X although I'm
not sure exactly how to do it with SDL.
