Why spawn a basename process, when you can use shell to do the same?
Also, the g modifier is worthless once you have a ^ anchor, since sed
can only replace one ^ per line.  And you don't need sed's -e option for
a single script.

The following is identical, with less typing:

{
    sed "s#^${QEMU_PROG##*/}:#QEMU_PROG#"
}
