Hi!
Thank you! You saved me from a lot of useless work then!
Is QMP some sort of server-client system? I mean the only way I might 
"control" qemu would be "remotely", isn't it?
So is there no more way of building a new application with inside 
qemu-capabilities?
I need to create an application that execute a PPC binary on a i386 host 
with some input, and get the result from that binary.. I thought I could 
use libqemu in some "user mode" way (i do not need the full system 
emulation) .. I can't simply call qemu-ppc, as I need everything to be 
in the same process .. I needed to do something like the qruncom test 
but with powerPC binaries .. What do you suggest?
Thank you!
Best Regards!
