Basicly the format is a simple "option=value", the shell script sources the config file in and then passes certain command line options to qemu based on the options given. The script should be easy to modify to use on OS X. To make it more portable (e.g. usable on Windows), converting it to C is not terribly difficult. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
