Is that simply enumerating running qemu instances, and asking each one
about things like it's name, VNC port, etc.?

Having each qemu publish itself through D-Bus or Avahi (to find the
list of running instances), and every info query go through the
monitor, would seem a clean solution to that.

Are there any other missing key components?
