All,

I woudl like to make it possible to compile devices (hw/*) as shared
libraries and load them dynamicaly. This would make it easier to
develop emulators for new hardware.

I am completly new to QEMU develpment so i would like to ask you guys,
QEMU Architects if you have any idea how it could be done. I would be
happy to implement this and send patches after all.

Thanks,
Dominik
