Well, it is not too drastic because my patch only adds an option. You
can just ignore this -no-quit option.
A popup would be good solution but sdl API does not offer a way to deal
with that :(
sdl is not done to implement buttons and so on.
An osd could be a solution but do we really need that? Not sure.
Please note that is something went wrong with the OS running under qeum
-no-quit, you can still just (x)kill qemu. Simple.
Any comments ?
