That's the answer I was hoping for - I much prefer each component
to have its own source tree if the dependancies are clear-cut and
managable separately. Indeed in my ideal universe, every main component
under the tools/ directory in xen-unstable.hg would be independant!

Great, that sounds like a good way to move forward, improving the 
maintainability of the QEMU / ioemu codebase.
