My idea was to try to provide more pieces of the puzzle for people that
are interested to work on this.

I asked Charlie to make a mini SDL static library build, which he has
done; the stock one wants a lot of shared libs.  He also made a demo
applet that displays tux via SDL when it runs.

We need a boot menu to do much better than 12s.  Charlie's test rootfs
used a normal kernel IIRC and he was using U-Boot, so it lost a lot of
time getting started.  But it seemed it would be faster than 12s coming up.
