do something like

For each emulator name in (qemu, qemu-system-x864, etc)
If emulator exists
run $emulator -help
So this lets us build up a list of all available emulators and their
capabilities (eg, whether each supports qemu, kqemu, kvm).
yes far more flexible, and introspection is the right way to
assess capabilities. Agreed this sounds the way to go.

If we honour $PATH, then it probably wouldn't be neccessary to add
config params for it.
yes that would probably be sufficient, unless the admin did something
really weird like using /usr/lib/libexec or something ...
