To address this I think we'd need to completely change the logic to do something like
- For each directory in $PATH 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.
From that list, we can then populate the list of supported combinations of guest, arch, domain type.
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 ...
