Not everyone may run QEMU under a POSIX-ish command-line shell. There
are several active operating systems in the world, and several people
fiddling with the porting of QEMU to those systems.

What I'd really like to see, for example, would be the possibility of
dumping the options active when QEMU was started to a config file. It
could be then tweaked at will, but the skeleton would be there
already, customized to a pretty comfortable point even.
