Yes, the problem is that Xen is a bit Linux-oriented, and as such the
parameter is called "ramdisk", can ship only one file, and doesn't have
a command line separate from the kernel's...

Well, why not, since it does work a bit now.

BTW, why is the CVS holding generated files like configure & co?  Since
we all have variouns versios of autoconf/automake, the cvs diff output
is cluttered with useless hooks.
