If we want to do wholesale incompatible changes to the CLI
I think we definitely need some kind of tool where a user
can say "here's my old command line, what's the new style
equivalent?". Otherwise we're going to have a deluge of
user issues where their old working setups broke and
QEMU didn't give them any useful hints about why.
