In fact, this whole thing looks as if you're merely trying to reimplement "tee" 
on the xenconsole output. Wouldn't it make more sense to do this in the char 
layer? So we could do:

  -xenconsole tee:stdio,file:/tmp/xen.log

or similar? That's probably a lot more useful than a random Xen specific hack.
