Ouch, no xend?

Another option is for someone to add another additional virt-type to 
koan and install it "some other way" (wrap xm create?), but I agree, if 
it's not open source it's not that interesting for many of us to work 
on, so it runs the risk of going unmaintained unless you'd want to own 
it. (We do some of that for VMware already -- see koan's source tree for 
details)
