What I really want to do, which I don't think is possibly in right now, is:

[net "default"]
  type=tap
  script=/etc/qemu-ifup-bridge

In /etc/qemurc to globally change from slirp default to tap default.  Of 
course, why stop there, we should install an /etc/qemurc by default with:

[net "default"]
  type=user
  host=10.0.1.2
  net=10.0.1.0/24
  dhcpstart=10.0.1.10
  dns=10.0.1.2

And completely get rid of any baked in defaults.
