Yes, but as I can't test this on something else than linux, I prefer to
disable this part to not break the existing and let competent people
(like you) doing the work (IMHO, I've introduced enough bugs into
Qemu...).

I think it should work on Windows, too (as nbd-server and qemu-img are
able to)

Laurent
