Since Fabrice has indicated a preference for qemu-img and deprecating
mkqemuimage, I'll write support into QEMUMenu to replace mkqemuimage
with qemu-img...

It will probably take me a couple of days to look at it and get it done.

Does this mean QemuMenu.bat will default to using qemu-img.exe instead
of mkqemuimage.exe? At this point I'm just asking so I can create a
simple quickstart guide so that others with my needs can look at
documentation rather than bothering the Qemu-devel list as I've done.
