Just changing the order in vl.c doesn't work.

For example I get:
VM_Serveur_de_scripts.crypt.qcow2 is encrypted.
Password: QEMU 0.9.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) blahblahblahblah
unknown command: 'blahblahblahblah'
(qemu)
(qemu)

Also connecting to vnc results in a segmentation fault with the reordering 
that I did.
