Great... at least in my opinion, one of the things that makes Qemu so 
much easier to use than Bochs is that one has a comprehensive (and 
comprehensable) command line and don't have to set up a configuration 
file for every trivial little thing.  It's a good thing for long-living 
virtualization instances, but I would be sad if the command line will 
end up being neglected.
