3d acceleration virtualization.

The emulated VGA device provides no acceleration virtualization at all 
so games are going to run terribly slowly.  Jacob Hansen has been doing 
some cool gl 3d paravirtualization but that wouldn't help for running 
games in Windows.
FWIW, the latest versions of VMware provide 3d acceleration 
virtualization for Windows guests (even under a Linux host).
