So there's a bug with this patch which was also present in the patch I
proposed. By setting $QEMU before we call search_qemu_binary() we may
force a "A QEMU binary was not found." failure even though a perfectly
good 'qemu-kvm' binary is present.

I'll try to come up with something better.

Thanks,
