Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu and configuration file?

[Mike Kronenberg]

I made a proposal some month ago based on xml:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2005-08/msg00034.html

I use this style of xml property lists for the configuration of the  
vm of Q (slightly alter by now).
Q is a OS X port of QEMU http://www.kberg.ch/q

I ran recently into some troubles with arguments that can appear  
multiple times, like -net and -redir.
I'm now about to changes my configuration files. Having a well  
defined style of configuration files would help making simple guest  
packages, that could be used on multiple systems...
