Hi,

A patch below fixes QCOW/QCOW2 for win32.

-snapshot option works. When -snapshot is used, a temporary file is
created at C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Local Settings\temp.

In path_is_absolute in block.c, path separation '/' also works for win32.

A named snapshot works. I can make a named temporary file by qemu-img.exe
and boots from it.

When I used qcow2, VM snapshots work.

localtime in block.c is thread-safe for win32.

For more information, see.
