what exactly would be the benefit over using something like SDL? it should already cover all the mentioned platforms (and more)

Retroarch has a better user-interface, standardized hetkeys, rewind, shaders support...

Another advantage is that a libretro core only requires OpenGL to compile, so it could be more portable than the SDL version...

there appears to be some (not very well working) third party libretro/retroarch port now

possible, if their UI runs a seperate thread. however the UI itself is quite terrible IMHO
