For the moment, I do not see any real advantage of using SDL over what
is in Wine now, so I think nobody never wondered if it was possible or
not (or course, if SDL were in the X core and thus providing real
hardware acceleration, the question would be more interesting).
And I think you may have some problems integrating both (for example
in the case of Windows Direct Draw applications like Media Player).
