 That is exactly what I've been planning to do for a week now, just haven't
found time to do anything but setup my new dev box.

 My thought was basically like you described. You add a emulator just
like a new capture device.   Specify a Name, working directory, rompath,
and a commandline to be called when playing a rom from this path.
This way you could have multiple versions of the same emulator by just 
giving it a different name. This would make it trivial to add new emulators
and honestly I don't see a good reason to have the configuration menus.
The user can configure the emulator on their own and save it to a default
config file, or just add the commandline switches similar to when you define
what player to use in MythVideo or MythDVD.

 Sounds like a good idea to me.
