Well, to take your idea one step farther, you could make a server that doesn't even have CS-MAME on it, but is basically a chat server which can tell the chat participants to execute the CS-MAME program with the correct parameters.
So it's just a chat where you can start a game or right-click on someone and join their game. You would have to have the chat program tell you the other person's IP address and what rom to run, but that's easy enough.
