hmm... console apps should be no problem -> ssh.
so let's look into the gdi/user32-application case:
  - provide a GDI which sends the stuff to network, probably as "simple"
    as a video device driver providing it
  - provide it as a user32/gdi combo, allowing it to send information
    about controls instead of line-by-line stuff.
    it'd be way more trouble than the first idea to implement, but it
    has two advantages: a) less network traffic, b) the possibility to
    implement the stuff that high-level (think of a unix-client implementing
    that GUI with gtk)
