I think this is great and I look forward to it being integrated with
osstest so we can start moving 3rd party components out of xen.git

non-user-facing stuff as possible into a subdirectory such that a user
just gets something like:
    $ ls
    README     raisin.sh*     lib      components
    COPYING    config

rather than being overwhelmed by all sorts of scripts etc.

I see you've moved the components into a subdir since the first posting.
which is good, I'd suggest to move as much of the other stuff
(common-funcitons, git-checkout, mk*) down a level too.
