Actually, regarding my previous mail, scratch that.  I see that you're
a big contributor to the libxml2 library, and that it has functions
for parsing URIs.  No need to reinvent the wheel in that case,
especially if we already link to libxml2.  It'll make parsing the
virtualizer URI much, much simpler and cleaner!

Also, on a completely offtopic note, I see that we must have missed
each other at Solutions Linux 2k6.  Pity I only got interested in Xen
more recently :-).
