I agree. Perhaps on Linux this could be optional (i.e. with '-console-monitor'
you get the old monitor, but on hosts that dont support those (i.e. Windows)
that option would be ignored).

Yes. I have a script that gives qemu config file support, but all it does is
wrap the command line parameters. (It is still very useful and I'll probably
keep it alive since it has a few things in it that qemu prolly wont, such as
support for using vdeq.)
