@item sslverify
Whether to verify the remote server's certificate when connecting over SSL. It
can have the value 'on' or 'off'. It defaults to 'on'.

+@item cookie
+Send this cookie (it can also be a list of cookies separated by ';') with
+each outgoing request. Only supported when using protocols such as HTTP
+which support cookies, otherwise ignored.
+
+@item timeout
+Set the timeout in seconds of the CURL connection. This timeout is the time
+that CURL waits for a response from the remote server to get the size of the
+image to be downloaded. If not set, the default timeout of 5 seconds is used.

@findex -icount
Enable virtual instruction counter. The virtual cpu will execute one
instruction every 2^@var{N} ns of virtual time. If @code{auto} is specified
provide cycle accurate emulation. Modern CPUs contain superscalar out of
order cores with complex cache hierarchies. The number of instructions
executed often has little or no correlation with actual performance.
+
+@option{align=on} will activate the delay algorithm which will try to
+to synchronise the host clock and the virtual clock. The goal is to
+have a guest running at the real frequency imposed by the shift option.
+Whenever the guest clock is behind the host clock and if
+@option{align=on} is specified then we print a messsage to the user
+to inform about the delay.
+Currently this option does not work when @option{shift} is @code{auto}.
+Note: The sync algorithm will work for those shift values for which
+the guest clock runs ahead of the host clock. Typically this happens
+when the shift value is high (how high depends on the host machine).
