I like this idea. I was looking at a qemu-options-somethingelse.h but I
couldn't really find any appropriate name for it. Renaming the current
qemu-options.h to qemu-options.def seems correct IMHO as it's not really
a header file that can be included into code by itself.

Thanks! I'll have to take a look at this.
