  each time you use realloc in a loop god kill some innocent electrons
Seriously realloc used to be really really slow on some systems but heh

  can we parenthesize a bit ?

                         (envend < argcount) && (strchr(arglist[envend], '='))

  and break the long line ?

   bug     VIR_FREE(progenv[i]);

if (progenv) could be moved out of the loop too but I'm so old
fashionned...

Reminds me my father complaining that those computer guys were lazy
bastards because those Cray compilers could not vectorize his code
properly and he had to do it by hand !

  typedef char **strtable;

   and

  strtable *retkeywords, strtable *retvalues

but that would kill the fun of reading it

  worse than a realloc in a loop, 2 reallocs in a loop ...
Maybe we should do something about it, no ? Some nice macro
which would define the array array##max array##cur and
and allocation macro which would realloc only when array##cur
reaches array##max ?

  Actually the parsing routine is not that bad...

  Agreed seems we are playing heuristics here...

  Hum, the base address is really expected to be given in base 10 ? I
  would assume it's base 16 instead, right ?

  Urgh, I always feel that macro definition within function are an abuse
of layering, sure it's preprocessor candy but that won't bring any
safety ....

  yes the network stuff is really ugly !

  The renaming of the ES97 into AC97 is IMHO orthogonal to this patch

Conclusion is that it's time qemu switch out of crazy arg formats and get
a decent config format instead ! This code could be a first step toward
sanity, but good luck arguing with them upstream !

  ACK, it's insane !
