I was also a little bit curious about SDL2, so in the past days, I've
hacked a prototype version of Hatari that links against SDL2 instead of
1.2. It's very limited (only ST/STE mode, no Falcon/TT, no proper
keyboard, no SDL GUI, no statusbar, ...), but at least the little green
desktop already shows up. So a port is certainly doable, but to get it
fullly right, it's quite a bit of effort. Especially the video api
changed quite a bit.

Do you know the migration guides already? There is one at
http://www.alexdantas.net/notes/moving-to-sdl-2.html and another
one at https://wiki.libsdl.org/MigrationGuide - quite helpful, so I'd
recommend to start reading these.
