Yes, this has been suggested before.  The original reason for having it 
be a separate repo is that most of the xenalyze development happened 
after a Xen release.  But I think it has more or less reached a 1.0 
level some time ago, and isn't seeing as many changes.

I'm not sure what it would take to get it checked into the main repo.  
At the moment the code is just one massive file (with a couple of helper 
files), and no doubt has a number of coding style inconsistencies - 
though I there is certainly worse code in the tree. :-)

Ian / Ian, any thoughts?
