Great News! Especially, if somebody writes a openGL driver/wrapper for 
the GuestOS.

I'm working on cocoa.m for some time now, especially UI Things. But I 
did not get around submitting the stuff yet. You find my diff on 
www.kberg.ch/cocoaqemu. It consists of a lot of changes (including mouse 
and keyboard support :) ) Last update: this weekend.
