I tried both "xl list -l" and "xl mem-set". Seems as if the json object
would be a good idea.

I guess this will require using libxl and I should move
init-xenstore-domain to tools/libxl in order to avoid dependency loops.

In the long run I think it would be a good idea to split the libraries
from the tools using them. So all libraries under tools/libs and the
programs (xl, init-xenstore-domain, xenstore-ls, ...) under tools/foo.
Otherwise all programs might tend to migrate to tools/libxl as this
is the last directory built containing a library. And having to select
the program's directory by the libraries it is using is a little bit
strange.

I think this would be a natural next step after Ian's libxc split has
been applied at least partially by introducing tools/libs.
