HOWTO: xen tools within FreeBSD domU

[Nick Sayer]

The web page previously referenced says in part:

A patch to do this is:

--- xs_lib.c.orig	2011-01-30 15:56:52.985324929 -0800
+++ xs_lib.c	2011-01-30 15:55:14.024346135 -0800

If no one else is working on it, I might take a cut at a xen-domU-tools port that does what that page lists.
