It is my understanding that the qemu package in F20 does not support xen
so I compiled xen from source per the RC3 Test Day instructions and the
instructions here:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source

After adding --enable-spice and --enable-usb-redir to tools/Makefile I
see the following error when I make xen:

ERROR: User requested feature spice
       configure was not able to find it

The build finishes and xen works fine but spice obviously does not work.
More complete log is below.

Thanks,

Eric
