Not so easily...

I made the graphics 320x200, so it's around 230KiB raw image data.

Options:
- use a compressed format.. This would mean adding a (i.e. JPG)
decompressor to Qemu..
   Either by requiring to link against libjpeg, or by adding a jpg
decompressor in an extra file.
- load the PPM file from the filesystem instead of including it in the
source. Doesn't make it
  smaller but then it's not possible to make a single diff against the
Qemu source tree anymore.
- paint something funky with a nice and small algorithm. Suggestions?
