Using SDL?

Well, not for classic Amiga's anyway.  SDL kills the classics...
(Not that someone couldn't choose to replace the SDL with Amiga native calls, but that's a huge amount of work..)

It should be doable, but it will involve rewriting all the graphics code. No difference to how a lot of games were ported back in the day.
