    cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism · cf60ccc3
    Akihiko Odaki authored
    
    Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
    allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
    such a situation.
    
    It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation
    tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to
    represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by
    the executables.
    
    Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The
    extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago,
    and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on
    such an old system.
