The documentation for this should appear here shortly:

   http://libvirt.org/uri.html

(If you only see the holding page, then please come back in up to half 
an hour).

The attached one-liner adds a xen:/// URI, intended as the normal method 
to connect to the Xen hypervisor on the local machine.  This is just a 
placeholder until I can get around to rewriting the Xen name parsing 
code in xen_unified.c.  This patch makes local (xen:///) and remote 
(xen://hostname/) Xen URI-style calls possible and hopefully doesn't 
prevent logical extensions to the Xen URI syntax from being added in future.

Also, I couldn't get file path URIs to work as they seem to be intended, 
but I haven't looked very closely yet:

   $ virsh -c ///var/lib/xend/xend-socket list
   libvir: error : no support for hypervisor
   virsh: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
