QEMU is sometimes used in embedded contexts, where graphical support
is unnecessary. The ability to turn off graphics support not only
saves some space, but it eliminates the dependency on pixman.

There are undoubtedly some rough edges that need to be cleaned up and
other parts of graphics code that could be compiled out -- this is mainly
meant to see what people think of the concept.
My immediate motivation was that the QEMU-supplied pixman was being a
pain to cross compile (especially without hacking up the generated QEMU
makefiles to pass additional things to pixman's configure), and in
general it would be nice to not have to carry around graphical baggage
when running on hardware that doesn't even have a display (so I was more
inclined to do this than to spend effort fixing the pixman build).
