Hi,

Default path doesn't work for me either. Running qemu from MSYS
doesn't make any difference.

If this is going to change, maybe it's better to try some kind of
getenv("ProgramFiles") before defaulting back to c:\\Program Files.

Same applies to other hardcoded directories in qemu, like
/tmp/qemu.log, which uses the drive you invoke qemu from, whereas
-snapshots writes to the directory pointed by the %TMP% environment
variable. I think these two should be coherent, and maybe even
user-definable.

Regards,
Edu.
