Summary

Add emulators/qemu-utils

qemu-utils is a new port which installs a few miscellaneous qemu utilities
that are useful even without emulation capabilities. It is equivalent to
the Debian package of the same name.

As long as you've tested on 9/10/11 and HEAD, looks good from here.

I'll leave "nox" as a reviewer here for posterity. I wish he was around to comment on this review. :-(

Looks good to me as well.

Only one question, could it be a slave port of another qemu port?

This seems like your editor might have helped you .. ?

Actually that's a good idea. Can we make this a slave of emulators/qemu so that the version always matches?

Not without also modifying emulators/qemu/Makefile. But I can try.

Nope. I faithfully copied this patch from all the other qemu* ports.

I had the impression that it adds functionality to the qemu port. If you don't have qemu is there any other requirement for this port? I believe it would be better to add it as an OPTION rather than creating a new port.

I doesn't add functionality; it removes it. The purpose is to provide qemu-img with _far_ fewer dependencies. I could theoretically add it as an OPTION, but it would be hard because the qemu port is complicated, including both positive and negative options, co-dependent options, and optional patching.

Remove unneeded USE flag

I think having a new port is best, so we can make it easy for people to install a pkg of just what people need... so master/slave seems best to me.

Master/Slave it is. @asomers if you can give me a patch for both qemu and qemu-devel it would be great. I have already started working with 2.7.X branch. Lets see how it ends up.
