This was bound to come up eventually, but perhaps KVM isn't the best 
name since it's overloading a rather commonly used acronym.  A quick 
google shows that besides the obvious clash with, well, KVMs, Sun also 
used it for one of their JVMs.

http://java.sun.com/products/cldc/wp/

Thoughts?  I figure if it's gonna happen, now's the time to do it.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

How about "XINXEN"? (Xinxen Is Not XEN ;o)

Or actually, I guess "XINK" is better (XINK Is Not Kqemu =^0)
