It's done with some few #ifdefs in the code, the default will remain
SDL1, but for testing one can issue "--enable-sdl2" to the configure
script to get a build with SDL2 support. So I think it should be pretty
safe for the main branch.

Concerning the WinUAE core, what are you're exact plans? I also thought
about updating it (just never got the time) - i.e. mainly to sync it
with the latest version of WinUAE because AFAIK there is now a pretty
good 68030 MMU emulation in there.
Did you plan to sync with WinUAE, too?
