[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] Add -version-simple argument, printing only version number.

[Jes . Sorensen]

From: Jes Sorensen <address@hidden>

Add -version-simple argument for QEMU, printing just the version
number, without any supporting text.

This makes it simpler for other apps, such as libvirt, to parse the
version string from QEMU independant of how the naming string may
change.
