1.  Any option should be settable either in the config file or command 
line.  In other words, the user should not be forced to use a config 
file.  This is useful for management programs who keep all options in an 
internal database, and for users who can experiment via a ^P edit edit 
edit <enter>.

2. The %(blah)s syntax is a bit ugly.  It's one of the few things in 
python I dislike.  I'd prefer ${blah} and ${blah:modifier}.

3. It would be nice to be able to embed a config file in a qcow3 format 
so that one can ship an image with some default options in one file.
