Ash, I am in the process of creating a Gumstix Virtual Machine (not a development environment, but a VM running an actual Gumstix image). I was wondering if you have done any work in that area. I have scanned the QEMU site - it looks fairly straight forward, but as always "leveraging others work" (that is bosspeak, in most human tongues it means "I am lazy") is best. Thanks!
