H A Dconfiguref92f8afebe038a4eae9ad90a140c9529f94919a6 Wed May 20 13:01:02 CDT 2009 Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Eliminate --disable-gfx-check and make VNC default when SDL not available

--disable-gfx-check predates VNC server support. It made sense back then
because the only thing you could do without SDL was use -nographic mode or
similar tricks. Since this is a very advanced mode of operation, gfx-check
provided a good safety net for casual users.

A casual user is very likely to use VNC to interact with a guest. In fact, it's
often frustrating to install QEMU on a server and have to specify
disable-gfx-check when you only want to use VNC.

This patch eliminates disable-gfx-check and makes SDL behave like every other
optional dependency. If SDL is not available, instead of failing ungracefully
if no special options are specified, we default to -vnc localhost:0,to=99.
When we do default to VNC, we also print a message to tell the user that we've
done this include which port we're currently listening on.
