cocoa.m is just a qemu video driver which uses natives Mac OS X UI  
Libraries.

I am not sure that you speak about the cocoa driver. The cocoa video  
driver is lighter than the SDL one, since it doesn't require the SDL  
dependencies. And I don't get the full-screen point: cocoa.m still  
need much work, and that is why it doesn't support fullscreen (yet).  
(BTW Mike has been doing some great improvements which will be  
hopefully soon committed in the head cvs repository.)

Fabrice would like to see the native GTK, or Win32 qemu video coded.  
Because then a decent UI could be added to qemu. The front ends will  
always be limited, and the previous hack seems a bit crazy, and  
nearly nasty: you can do that directly via a video driver for qemu,  
and moreover it will let you far more control over qemu.
