The Xen hypervisor, a powerful open source industry standard for
virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for
virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. It
supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows, Linux,
Solaris, and various versions of the BSD operating systems.
This script has a few optional dependencies:
mbootpack - creates LILO compatible kernel images
libssh - mostly used by libvirt, enable with USE_LIBSSH=yes
(previously known as USE_LIBSSH2)
ocaml-findlib - autodetected, builds oxenstored binary
spice - enable with USE_SPICE=yes
Linking with the stock libraries:
bluez - enable with USE_BLUEZ=yes
gtk - enable with USE_GTK=yes
audio - enable with USE_AUDIO=yes
(or a comma-delimited list: oss alsa sdl pa)

README.dom0 - explains setting up privileged Xen domain (host)
README.domU - talks about unprivileged Xen domain (guest)
