Re: x2d2

[Andrew Warfield <andrew.warfield@gmail.com>]

We are in the process of some fairly major revisions to the control
tools.  I think that the general expectation is that 3.0 will show
some pretty big changes to the control interfaces and tools.  The
unstable tree now has a control switch (xcs) which sits under xend and
allows other applications to be written to use the control channels
without needing to modify xend.  We are hoping to move towards small,
single-purpose management tools in dom0.

This should all start to appear in the unstable tree over the next
couple of months.
