Another way is to use the flat disk image that can be also used by Xen and UML. VMware calls that image-layout "monolithicFlat". So automation is easy again, just some losetup/fdisk/grub-magic.
But adding a "qemu-img convert" stanza is cheap :). Anyway, maybe we can work together on this. I have a half-finished Python script that does the creation/partitioning/filesystem creation, and takes a first stab at installing packages via yum. Though, I have to tidy up the code a bit first (and add some getopt magic). It's aimed at being general enough for various image formats (disk/ISO).
