This used to be the default (in fact, the only version available for the
monitor)
until 0.6.0
The default was made -monitor vc because in Windows stdio didn't work.
It only works in windows if you include windows specific code to attach a
console to the process ... which Fabrice choose not to include (but which is
in the windows port of qemu i believe). This is annoying for non-windows
users of qemu, but at least it is consistent across host OSes this way.
You need to do a 'Ctrl-Alt-1' or 'Ctrl-Alt-2' as I recall, to use the VC
monitor.
