Tell me about your success and your problems... I designed EWS thinking
about other possible backends, but never implemented one It should not
be hard to do so (note that everything outside driver-sdl is SDL
independant, or should be); you should implement a driver-arm (or
whatever you like to call it) redefining proper children classes for
DISPLAY, and IMAGE at least
