Both.  A config file will be useful not just for expressing the 
functionality we have today, but also for describing the guest's 
environment in greater detail.  For instance, if you want to support a 
bunch of different kinds of embedded systems, it would be very nice if 
the machine description was a config file instead of hard coded such 
that it was easy to tweak what hardware was present for the particular 
embedded system.

As long as all options are still settable via command line (or stdio), 
then it's not at all a hassle.
