Speed isn't an issue, portability is. It would be nice to have a single
emulator that worked on multiple platforms. I don't know how much of the rest
of the BeebEm code is Win32-specific, it may be this is a non-issue for
BeebEm because of other dependencies. If DirectX is the only Win32
dependency, it would seem like a shame to tie the emulator to one platform,
when OpenGL would allow others.
