This is exactly what I want. Concerning SDL the thing is that I do not
like additional dependencies and I just tried it out: SDL does not just
compile for my target (arm based) and I am not very enthusiastic in
getting it work. The idea is to implement another backend for ews, which
does not use SDL, but directly writes to the framebuffer.
