Is there a way to point an older qemu release (currently running 
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.16) to iPXE products?

We have built iPXE and installed the files and tested by changing the 
symbolic links in /usr/share/qemu-kvm (RH6.1 system) to point to the 
iPXE files.  We would like to package the files in an RPM for 
installation on several machines, but since the links are owned by the 
qemu-kvm package, we cant have the iPXE package overwrite them.

Is there a command line argument to qemu to point to a different 
directory for iPXE?  I've been looking through the code but can't find 
what tells qemu where to pick up the files.

Thanks for any info.
Kenton
