This is great!

The only thing that would be nice to have is the ability to point it at 
a build directory.  Setting PATH isn't enough because it expects a qemu 
executable whereas my build directory has a qemu-system-x86_64 executable.

Why does it need to run qemu?  Shouldn't qemu-io/qemu-img be enough?
