I might be missing something but I thought you could already do this
in current libvirt.  ie. Change the <emulator> element [1] to point to
your shell script:

  <emulator>/usr/local/bin/my-qemu-wrapper.sh</emulator>

The wrapper should get called with the command line arguments and you
can alter them however you like.

Isn't that right, Dan?
