I think that just a simple command line switch is sufficient.  I wrap all 
my QEMU invocations in small shell scripts anyway, so I do not see all the 
command line args.  I do not care whether the default is local time or 
UTC.  As long as I can make it UTC for my QEMU instances, I'm happy :-)

I wouldn't worry about making QEMU have a config file at this point.  Just 
keep up the great work with the emulator itself and adding PCI and 
graphics.  If I could pay you for this, I would!  QEMU is one of the most 
useful open source projects I've used in years.

Best,
