The next version of libvirt will include an API and virsh command for converting from QEMU ARGV, into libvirt XML. This is what I actually used to generate the XML I gave you above - after I had fixed the bugs your example ARGV identified in our conversion code :-) Conversion of existing KVM args into XML can't be totally automatic though - it'll likely always need some manual fine tuning, so won't be wired up into virt-manager UI. virt-manager though *should* get the ability to create a new VM with its wizard, without having to go through the installer again.
