+=head1 QEMU WRAPPERS
+
+If you want to compile your own qemu, run qemu from a non-standard
+location, or pass extra arguments to qemu, then you can write a
+shell-script wrapper around qemu.
+
+There is one important rule to remember: you I<must C<exec qemu>> as
+the last command in the shell script (so that qemu replaces the shell
+and becomes the direct child of the libguestfs-using program).  If you
+don't do this, then the qemu process won't be cleaned up correctly.
+
+Here is an example of a wrapper, where I have built my own copy of
+qemu from source:
+
+ #!/bin/sh -
+ qemudir=/home/rjones/d/qemu
+ exec $qemudir/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L $qemudir/pc-bios "$@"
+
+Save this script as C</tmp/qemu.wrapper> (or wherever), C<chmod +x>,
+and then use it by setting the LIBGUESTFS_QEMU environment variable.
+For example:
+
+ LIBGUESTFS_QEMU=/tmp/qemu.wrapper guestfish
