Owwwww!  You know one thing..  I've had trouble getting qemu to build
in the past and ended up using qemu 0.9.1 long after 1.0 was out, and
it's rock solid.  I've had no trouble from qemu at all.  I think I'll
stick with 0.9.1 now!  Oh btw the man pages for 0.9.1 seemed to imply
that qcow2 was really only to be used where the host OS doesn't
support holes.  (Holes are long runs of 0, and can be stored as a
simple length.) Maybe it's not tested very well any more.

As to drawterm, I've held xorg-server back too.  It's at 1.4.2, and
I'm having no trouble with drawterm.  I really hate the careless
changes in recent xorg-server versions, several old-but-good functions
don't work right any more.
