I did an initial prototype patch to validate the design / approach. This now
needs to be cleaned up to a state suitable for inclusion in libvirt CVS repo.
My goal is to get QEMU support in an official libvirt release within the
next 3-6 months, so that I can make it into Fedora Core 7.

There'll be a little incremental work to virt-manager once the libvirt QEMU
bits are done, but I don't expect that to cover anything difficult - just
tweaking the install wizard to enable the options that are relevant for 
QEMU VMs.

Dan.
