Is there any reason to put that new library in "/usr/libexec"?
It doesn't seems like a good place for it, and using "/usr/lib" instead
seems better.
libexec is mostly for binary, according to
    https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s07.html

It seems that location for ocaml libs is in $(OCAMLDESTDIR), any reason
to deviate from that?

Also, on the following patch, "XEN_CTRL_DOMAININFO_PLUGIN" is
introduced. If that value is still useful, it would be better to use it
at installation time as well.

Thanks,
