Is it any more efficient to reduce the number of times you crawl through
the list?  For example, instead of crawling the list with qemu_opt_get,
why not get teh string directly from the result of qemu_opt_find?  Also,
you crawl again for qemu_opt_del.  Maybe it's unavoidable, and certainly
still O(n), so not the end of the world, but worth thinking about.

Why printf?  Might there be callers that want to print to somewhere
other than stdout?
