Oh.  It is actually used on the command line.  Hmm.

First, you can use '-serial mon:stdio' instead.

Second, with 'qemu -nographic' you don't need to specify this at all 
because that is the default.

What is gone now is the automagic conversion of '-serial stdio -monitor 
stdio' into '-serial mon:stdio' because I didn't expect people actually 
using that on the command line (see commit message).  Also this kind of 
post-processing is pretty horrible thing for the command line parser 
code.  Thus I would pretty much prefer to not re-introduce this ...

Can you live with one of the alternatives outlined above?

cheers,
