Right now, xen-unstable doesn't build if you don't have Xlibs
installed. This is because of ioemu. ioemu is not required to run Xen
on a non-VT system.
We definitely need a smarter build system that can figure out "hey, I
don't have xlib, so don't build ioemu."
autoconf does that for you. I think the intention is just to
autoconfize the tools/ directory. You get all sorts of good things for
free (cross-compilation support, separate build/src directories, etc.).
I think it's fair to not use tools we don't want (libtool, automake
maybe) but it seems to make sense to at least use autoconf.
