Amen!

This is why I added VMX support to vmtools. It allowed me to create the
device model from the controlling terminal so that it would have access
to the user's environment and it even allowed me to pass options to qemu
such as "-monitor stdio" so I could issue "change cdrom ..."  commands.

Alas, the developers of vmtools have (temporarily?) dropped vmx support
from vmtools and the old version is incompatible with the latest version
of Xen.  I'm now forced to use xm/xend as well :-( :-(
