I did that initially, but I found that confusing.  The problem is that
input & output are mutable objects (so they are passed to virtually
every function and they are updated as v2v.ml progresses), whereas all
of the other cmdline.* fields are immutable cmdline parameter values.

I don't think any other tool apart from virt-v2v would have this
problem/inconsistency though.

Rich.
