I'd like to add a --with-system-oxenstored= but I don't have time.  That will
have to wait for 4.22.

It would be nice to introduce "--with-system-oxenstored=", but, at the moment,
I can agree that it is enough to announce that oxenstored is deprecated and
will be removed in a future version of Xen:

I know this is a little bit late, but nevertheless I'd like the configure
help text reflect that move by changing the paragraph to no longer nudge
the user towards oxenstored by claiming only oxenstored would be robust.
