SDL will take care of the video and sound; for the UI you'll need to
move to a portable UI toolkit instead of native Windoze.

I've not looked at the codebase, but getting the SDL layer in and have
it run without the UI is probably feasible in a weekend or two,
provided there isn't large dependencies on WinXX API's - but there
shouldn't be.
