In case you have more ideas you'd like to commit for others to do some 
tests, I think one way to do it could be to create a "gui-sdl-new" 
directory for example and duplicate all code + changes in it.

This would limit the number of #ifdef in others parts of the code and 
would just need a few changes to cmakefile to choose which sdl gui to 
compile.

(another way could be to create a new branch in mercurial, but it could be 
a little more complicated to have actives branches in the repository)
